HOLIDAY INN - 2013-2016 LP

The cult of East Rome acid minimal synth-punk duo Holiday Inn had to start somewhere, right? Nothing has spread this fast in the peninsula’s notorious stuffy DIY circuit uniting techno-industrial enthusiasts, hardcore noisers, theatrical freaks and rhythm punks. A collaboration between Gabor (Aktion, Metro Crowd) on voice and Frenchman Bob Junior (Trans Upper Egypt, Bobsleigh Baby, Hiss) on synth and drum machine, they leave their best on stage where live shows have cemented their ill reputation.

‘2013-2016’ collects all the duo’s previous releases starting with their debut tape and 7”s, documenting along the way one of the most distinctive voices of the Italian underground, from their roots at Roma’s infamous Fanfulla venue to their collaborations with some of our favorite labels (No=Fi, My Own Private Records, Rave Up).

From ‘Mob Mob Mob’ to ‘Zero Divided By Two’, to their incredible Can cover of ‘Mushrooms’, this collection features all the sleaze that has become essential to their live staples.
