North Wales Psychedelic rock band ‘Holy Coves’ are poised to release their brand new single ‘The Hurt Within’ on Friday 25th of March via ‘Yr Wyddfa Records’.

Lead by Welsh Singer-Songwriter Scott Marsden, ‘Holy Coves’ find themselves crossing an unseen threshold on a fantastical new journey where new psych-hazed material spells an exciting new era for the collective.

Through long time friend and Producer David Wrench, ‘Holy Coves’ were put in touch with Texan Producer Erik Wofford(The Black Angels / Explosions In The Sky) and have built quite a magical working relationship, one where Wofford found himself on Mixing and Mastering duties for the material and certainly contributes to their new sound.

The PainKillers Album Review

Dec 7, 2021 — Leave a comment

Holy Coves member Jason Hughes surprised everyone last month with the release of his debut solo album Sit Down. Jason wrote, recorded, mixed and mastered all of this fantastic record himself at his home studio in Manchester. 

Jason has previously made records with Welsh band Holy Coves in 2008 and 2012, working with Welsh producer David Wrench. He has just finished recording the third Holy Coves record titled Druids & Bards and all the while still managed to find the time to craft this piece of genius.  
For a debut record this really is the perfect start. Right from the opening track Sit Down sucks you in and takes you on a wonderful train journey across Wales and Manchester to meet Joy division. It has a serious tone and yet still has a humorous feel to it. Like a dark comedy that still manages to make you cry, it is deep, energetic and the production is beautifully layered.  
You have The Welsh Ian Curtis! There you go I said it. It really is that good. Go and listen to Sit Down by The PainKillers today.
Available across all streaming services and BandCamp
