Holy Locust

Holy Locust is a band with its roots steeped in the raw energy of folk punk, with a sound that blends traditional American folk with the intensity and spirit of punk rock. Hailing from New Orleans, Louisiana, the band is known for their thought-provoking lyrics and relentless touring, which has earned them a dedicated fan base across the United States and beyond. Since their formation, Holy Locust has carved out a niche for themselves within the DIY music scene, garnering respect for their craft and their commitment to an ethos of community and resistance.

The band's discography, characterized by a gritty, visceral sound, is marked by releases such as "Beneath The Turning Wheel," which showcases their ability to articulate the human condition against a backdrop of turbulent, melodic instrumentation. With other works like "Trash Pile/Live Wire," "Fallen Crown," "Fever Dream," and "Limbs Appear," Holy Locust continues to expand their musical narrative, exploring themes of survival, disillusionment, and the pursuit of freedom. Each record reflects the band's evolution and its members' ability to harness the chaos of their influences into a distinct and resonant musical vision, one that resonates with those who are drawn to the darker, more introspective corners of the folk punk genre.
