I'll admit: the reason I downloaded their album was because of their name. I just couldn't imagine what a band named "Holy Fuck" could possibly sound like. Well, in answer to that question, they sound damn good. They lay down some pretty, upbeat instrumental post-rock which makes for some enjoyable (albiet sometimes challenging) listening.
They also have a unique song writing method that they employ on tour, giving them their signature sound"
"Without rehearsing or arranging parts prior to hitting the stage, Holy Fuck wrote the songs from their album, LP, live on tour. Each time they'd return from tour they'd check into a studio and cathartically capture the energy of the live show, recording the songs that had now taken shape. The only problem was they had too much material. A couple of unfortunate computer hard drive crashes later a good chunk of the material was lost. Maybe this was a good thing as it brought to light recording sessions that would have been otherwise overlooked, like the live satellite radio recording on Verge XM, or “Super Inuit”, taken from a live recording made while on tour with !!!.
