GC Holmes Live @ Lions Den

GC Holmes began performing at open mics around Manchester in 2009 with a raw combination of primitive acoustic guitar and screamed poetry. He then formed his first band The Genitals who played a handful of gigs in 2011. The Genitals disbanded and Holmes continued solo, releasing an EP of 5 original songs entitled Scarshark in 2014. After Scarshark Holmes began work on his debut full length album Ultralove. Ultralove was recorded mostly live with his band at the influential EVE Studios, and was finally released in 2019. Ultralove was endorsed by Manchester institution Piccadilly Records who agreed to stock the album in CD format and reviewed the album favourably, with the words: Woozy, reverbed majesty, Shimmering, wide-ranging cinematic impact, & finally, simply: Lovely stuff all round. Ultralove was variously compared to Bowie, Richard Hawley, Lift To Experience & The War on Drugs.
