Holiday Sidewinder

Holiday Sidewinder is an Australian pop artist and songwriter known for her bold, cinematic synth-pop sound with a playful nod to 80s and 90s aesthetics. Originally part of the Melbourne-based indie-pop duo Buckingham Hotel (later Buckingham Palace), she launched her solo career with a flair for drama, blending dark humor and retro-futuristic beats. Tracks like "Die Hard," "The Last Resort," and "Cliffhanger" showcase her knack for pairing lush, neon-lit production with lyrics that flirt with melodrama and nostalgic escapism. Her work often feels like a movie soundtrack, balancing campy theatrics with sharp pop sensibilities. Based in London for a time, Holiday has cultivated a cult following for her unapologetically maximalist vibe, weaving glamour, heartache, and cheeky storytelling into danceable tracks that feel both vintage and fresh.
