Hailing from Brisbane, HOLLAND is led by Jarryd Klapper (lead singer) and Shane Graham (lead guitarist), supported by James Taylor (bass) and Javed Sterritt (drums) in the rhythm section. Now, with a major label EP release and a debut album in the works, the band are set to hit the road later this month for a run of east coast shows. Having recently toured with the likes of Switchfoot, Set Sail and Tim Freedman, their debut single “No Control” is at media now. It is the first single from their long-awaited debut album, set for release in 2012. The album was recorded in the USA with legendary producer Nick DiDia at the helm. DiDia’s track record reads like a who’s who of contemporary rock music, having worked with U.S. superstars Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against The Machine & Bruce Springsteen, along with homegrown heavyweights Powderfinger, The Living End & Katie Noonan. HOLLAND hunkered-down for a touch over a month in Atlanta, cutting their debut in the Southern Tracks Recording Studios. On a casual listen, the album is littered with pop numbers. There’s drama and tenderness in equal measure, with touches that will remind some of Coldplay and early Kings of Leon. Closer inspection reveals a set rich with warm melodies, and a depth that should strike a chord in the colder months. DiDia truly captures the urgency of Jarryd’s vocals and the subtle tones of his piano-play.
