Emerging with a sound that spans decades and genres, HOLiDAY MYSTICS aligns to a resonance of anthemic artists of recent times. Romantically referenced as ‘the lovechild of Florence + The Machine and Foals’, they unapologetically merge gritty alternative rock with heartfelt mystic pop. The charming combination of female and male vocals land the band in the realm of “A real life Daisy Jones & The Six” and “A modern-day Fleetwood Mac with hints of 90's Alt Rock”.

Currently working alongside GRAMMY nominated and ARIA award winning producer Adrian Breakspear (Pharrell, Coldplay, Gang Of Youths, Amy Shark), 2024 is set to be the year of releases with singles ‘Deliberance,’ and ‘Long Game’ leading the way.

The band is starting to build a profile and gain a following both in AUS & the UK, touring both territories in 2023 and are heading back to the UK to tour in August-September 2024. After receiving regular airplay in the UK last year with recent single 'WOA' being picked up by several stations including BBC Introducing and Radio X. After recently supporting Holy Holy, The Moving Stills and now The Jungle Giants the band is picking up momentum quickly.

HOLiDAY are for fans of: Florence + The Machine, The Last Dinner Party, London Grammar, Foals, Wolf Alice, Sam Fender, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and other alternative rock gems that came before them.

No matter where life leads, our hearts and souls are forever bound to the initial place we called home. Kyle T. Hurley may’ve set down roots here and there, and most currently in London but this Philly boy can always pull inspiration from home. Whether it’s a sociological take put to song, or something else observational, Philly flows through him. Philly and so much more – he definitely owes me a drink for the “more” – but even though he held back a little, it wasn’t much as he went deep with so much in this back and forth.
