Jack Holmes

Some song writers serenade you with beautifully preformed 3 minute mixtures of well-crafted lyrics, skilled playing and angelic singing. Jack Holmes is not one of these song writers. The exiled Englishman, now seeking refuge in the streets of Vienna, is to Acoustic Music what losing your virginity is in comparison to your repertoire of sexual encounters; fast, loud and just a little awkward. Instead of playing solo to document a “slow side” or as an “artistic release”, Jack Holmes uses the lack of Amps and Bandmates to play Punk Rock without being slowed down by the complacency of others, enabling him to bring his passionate, sweat-filled collection of Gruff Acoustic songs to any stage or floor strong enough to hold him. 2013 sees the release of Jacks début album, “Through Acts of God and Idiocy”, 11 sordid whiskey soaked anthems of love, lust, loss and learning, screamed at you from the bottom of life’s losing end. With his Tongue firmly in its Cheek and his Heart on its Sleeve, Jack Holmes is unlikely to change your life, revolutionize your thinking or overthrow you with Awe, much more likely is the case that his catalogue of bitter-sweet Acoustic Punk Rock songs, paired up with his cynicism laden humour will provide you with a sound track to help you reflect upon your own Idiotic mistakes, whilst hopefully bestowing upon you a smile to face the future with, in all of its uncertainty and glory.
