Holy Moly & The Crackers make riotous party music for the masses. Their upcoming third album, ‘Take A Bite' (released April 5th 2019 on the band's own Pink Lane Records), is concise, passionate take on folk, blues and indie rock. The sound of a band who have been searching and experimenting for several years; arriving at a place where they can say "this who we are and this is where we want to go".

Led by the euphoric lead single, ‘All I Got Is You' (championed by Spotify and Radio X) ‘Take A Bite' combines pop song craft with stomping, four to the floor backing, demonstrating the Newcastle-based sextet's commerciality and ambition, as well as their ability to tackle personal lyrical fare, deftly led by vocalist Ruth Patterson. Further adorning their naturally expressive take on British folk with sizeable dollops of rock'n'soul, sharp indie-rock, vulnerable balladeering and festival-ready psychedelic trips towards the Middle East, ‘Take A Bite' sets its stall confidently in the previously unoccupied space between the Gossip, Arctic Monkeys and Gogol Bordello..

This time around the recording process was marked by a shift in production technique from Matt Terry. "Usually, you'll record all the drum tracks and then all the bass tracks. But this time we recorded one song at a time and completely lived it". The band even went one step further during the recording of the Byrds-influenced, folk-rock ‘Can't Get Enough', with producer Matt creating an immersive 60s experience in the studio. "Matt's mad! For that one he made us dress up in 60s clothes, bandanas, suits, flares," Conrad laughs. "And it was really silly, but it really got us to live it." a chance on us," explains Ruth. "Obviously we've got a bit of a daft name and we look a bit mad, but I think once people actually come to a gig, they're always swept up in the music and the energy. We get kids, old people, Goths, hippies, whatever. Everyone's invited, everyone's part of it. And people seem to lose themselves. No one's like, "Oh, how do I look?' while dancing. They don't care. It brings everyone together."

"All roads lead to the stage," Conrad continues. "it boils down into one manic, riotous party. That's where we connect with the audience and with each other and that's what we're all about." It's an all-systems-go mentality. "We've arrived at a place here, with this album, where we can start the journey that we want to be on."

"The melodious yet raw title track demonstrates an originality which is impossible to define - somewhere between the Black Keys and Jack White with an Eastarn vibe ... if Jimi Hendrix played violin, this is what it would have sounded like. Whilst not a blues album in its purest sense, Take A Bite is a significant piece of interesting and original music covering themes, experiences and emotions which are central to the blues tradition"
