Holyrude Vault – Long Time Coming EP Review
16th January 2025 0 By Laura JaneNew year… New me and all that so I’ll go out of my comfort zone here. Today I’ll be reviewing and taking a look into the recent EP release from Holyrude Vault. Holyrude Vault is a five-piece hard rock band from the heart of Edinburgh formed in 2021, By lead guitarist, Connell and Singer, JT. In 2022, Drummer, Chris joined the ranks. bringing a new edge of groove and power to the table. Early 2024 saw the introduction of Christian on bass and Nick on rhythm guitar to the Holyrude Vault family.
Hard rock is one of the genres I like to categorize as the “dad rock” of genres jokingly, it’s the bands that I can imagine my dad sat listening to complaining “Back in my day music was good” followed by the hilarious sort of dad joke like “Why did the rockstar go to jail? Because he was in treble…” Badumm-chh, I’m here all night thank you, folks. Jesus Christ, I need to stop being so cringe in these write-ups recently – anyway back to the topic on hand..
‘Long Time Coming’ is the 2024 EP release from Holyrude Vault and is made up of 4 tracks “Around and Round”, “Dynamite”, “Lies” and “Save Me” with a complete run time of 14 minutes and 51 seconds. A nice little short listen for those who maybe want to get their fingers out into some sort of pie. If you haven’t figured how this comparison applies the pie is a new band/genre…
Overall, the EP gains a solid 7/10 my reasoning behind this is that although the EP is solid musically for me it just doesn’t stand out that much against similar genre bands. The EP contains the standard distorted electric guitars, powerful vocals, and strong rhythms you’d expect for the genre and may I add do this superbly but I just can’t find a justification to rate this 10/10 for anything that has stood out this EP for me, however, I would like to say I’d definitely if you have the time give this EP the opportunity and have a listen.
Score 7/10
