When listening to alternative band Holy Wars, the easiest comparison is to Siouxsie and the Banshees. That is not only because of Kat Leon's piercing vocals, but also the eerie funk and emotions. (In that way, I am also reminded of Concrete Blonde.) There are some wonderful guitars on "Orphan".
Leon is joined by her Sad Robot bandmate Nicolas Perez. I checked out the band on the recommendation of their producer, AFI's Hunter Burgan.
If you check out their late 2017 release, Mother Father, you will find grief, but also powerful wrestling and dealing with that grief. That may be especially true for those who have lost parents.
The title track is also the last track, and acts as a beautiful benediction on the fight. It's not exactly a conclusion. Some things are over, but new things are starting, with a stronger identity discovered. When you face death you also discover life.
There are not currently any tour dates listed, but a recent tweet hints at an announcement of an announcement, so it may be a good idea to keep an eye on the account.
