3) A singer-songwriter who plays the ukelele from Peterborough Ontario, Canada
1) Sincere, true and honest – three words to describe the music of Holmes, but also three words to describe them as a band. When you meet Holmes either through the speakers of your stereo, at the house of a friend or live in concert you will soon realize that you have found a new friend. I first met Holmes in 2009 through their Storm EP and after playing those four tracks for five or six hours straight during a rainy Friday afternoon I soon realized that I would have to get their debut album pronto, and 15 minutes later I found myself at the local music store holding Wolves as carefully as if it was made of glass, with a big grin on my face. A week later I knew all the songs by heart and since then we have been like the best of friends – Holmes and I.
Holmes will welcome you from the very first tone and then carefully lead you through stunning melodies and lyrics with gravity and intensity. This is a band that will let you come along on tour, lend you a jacket when you’re cold or hand you a cup of coffee when you need it the most.

TwenteHenna I like their debut 'Wolves' a lot. The artist description fully captures how I, too, feel about their music. They have such a "cozy" and heart-warming sound, it's like a musical blanket you can pull over yourself when you'd like to shut the world out..

MarcoXalana Damn, I found another good band from sweden! Is it because of the air? Maybe something in the water? :) All I know is that you swedish people know how to make good music. Cheers!

agren This is probably the only band that I listen to that I can actually claim, I've listened to Holmes since the self titled album from '04 when I was but a wee young lad. Also, I can gladly state that the old cliché about "the old albums being better" surely doesn't apply to Holmes (even though the old albums are great), Holmes just keeps getting better and together with Division of Laura Lee they are the pride of our beloved shithole of a city, Vänersborg. Keep it up!
