The Holiday EP

Brand New

Stripped-back acoustic renditions and unpolished demos recorded during the band's peak. A cold, intimate, and deeply vulnerable winter companion.

It's the sound of the biggest emo band in the world playing in their living room while it snows outside.

A quiet, fragile introspection that feels like a cold winter night spent indoors.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The vulnerable vocal crack during the bridge of the acoustic rendition of The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot.
The transition from the raw, unpolished energy of the Logan to Government Center demo into the hushed opening of the next track.
The surprisingly earnest and traditional delivery of Oh Holy Night that closes the EP with a haunting sincerity.
