The Electric Soft Parade - Holes In The Wall
Review by Michael Eloff
Electric Soft Parade's debut album, Holes In The Wall, is a stunning showcase of the band's talent and creativity. From start to finish, the album is a masterful blend of indie rock, pop, and psychedelic influences, with each track offering something unique and memorable.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Empty at the End", which features a catchy guitar riff, soaring vocals, and a driving rhythm section. The song's chorus is particularly powerful, with the lyrics "I'm empty at the end, but I'm full of it now" ringing out over the instrumental backing.
Another highlight of the album is "There's a Silence", which starts off with a haunting piano melody before building to a crescendo of crashing drums and distorted guitars. The song's lyrics are introspective and contemplative, with lines like "There's a silence in my head, but it's louder than the words I've said" offering a glimpse into the band's emotional depth.

A classic!
Entourage!
Great tune. Should have got more recognition but having been in a band myself at the time I know that it was the beginning of the end of 'real music' on the radio, and it's still going on :-(
Alex and Thomas you rock!
Picked up Holes in The Wall on Vinyl at HMV Newcastle for £3 in 2003 somehow. The track order is mixed up compared to the CD, and it plays at 45 RPM. I'm so glad I have it :)
So fucking Happy to have the chance to see you playing live in Madrid. I Will be there. Happy new year
I know this song from somewhere and I can't place it. Given the time and genre, it must have appeared on the soundtrack for Teachers
Looks like Russel Tovey
Tune
Sounds like a very poor version of Supergrass
Remember watch these at move festival at Manchester cricket ground. But went for Bowie who played on the night #memories
Saw these at Manchester move festival. Bowie headlined it
