Hollydays

Hollydays is a French indie pop duo bringing retro vibes into the 21st century with their blend of surf-rock guitars, synth textures, and deadpan lyricism. Formed in Paris by childhood friends Romain Bonnière and Simon Leneuve, the pair crafts tongue-in-cheek anthems about millennial disillusionment, suburban boredom, and romantic misfires—all delivered with a wink of self-awareness. Their tracks like "L'odeur des joints" and "Les insatisfaits" showcase their signature mix of catchy hooks and sardonic observations, often wrapped in lo-fi production that nods to 80s new wave and garage rock. While maintaining a deliberately low-profile mystique, they've cultivated a cult following in France's alternative scene for their unpretentious, nostalgia-drenched sound that makes apathy sound irresistibly cool.
