Swedish punks Holograms made some noise last year with their self-titled debut album , and they've already announced plans for its follow-up, Forever , due in a few months. First single "Flesh And Bone" is a stark and dramatic thing, a the synth-streaked motorik assault that reminds me of the early Cure. It's a seriously good song, and you can hear it below.

Former factory working young punks Holograms released their debut album earlier this summer. To coincide with the start of their North American tour they've released a video to album closer 'Fever', and it's rather delicious. 'Fever' itself is a slap-in-the-face slice of primary coloured, trebley indie-punk that rattles with the boredom of youth and the want for something better. “There is lots of angst and honesty and heart. We look to capture those feelings and to capture those kinds of emotions." - Anton Spetze.

Stockholm based Holograms have been plugging up my ears all day. I've literally only gotten my ears on this one track, "Monolith", but it's a good one. It's like some sort of hybrid punk rock, or maybe it's just rock...either way, the first time I heard it on A Volta I was hooked. It doesn't start out trying to grab you instantly - that doesn't happen til the beat kicks in and the guitar starts crunching all over the place. It gets you going quick, adrenaline pumping. I just wish I knew what he was saying [...]

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars When you get a record from Captured Tracks , you sort of know what you're getting into, but Holograms , one of the newest bands on the label, are here to change your preconceived notions. Their self-titled debut is dark, but it's definitely fueled by a punk sensibility that provides listeners with an angst ridden record you can throw on to lift your spirits. "Monolith" is the second longest track on the record, and it comes with [...]

If you're a fan of Fleetwood Mac then the first thing you might think of when you hear the opening couple of notes of Holograms ' new jam is that they're going to cover the awesome fucking guitar solo breakdown in "The Chain" , made famous by Formula One in the U.K. Not so, as it's just "Monolith" , another of Swedish group's throttling chanted indie-punk belters, taken from their debut self-titled album, and if they're new to you, check out [...]
I'm going to tell you right now that we're going to have some happier tunes on the site today, so I had to kick off the day with something a little bit edgier, you know, just to keep my rep as the resident rock intact. The Swedish group Holograms has just signed with Captured Tracks (one of our faves), and they'll be releasing the band's self-titled debut on July 19th. This has a bit more of a punk rock feeling than a lot of the current bands working [...]

The reason being that "Chasing My Mind" , taken from their upcoming self-titled on Captured Tracks , [...]
