About Me

ATTENTION PLEASE, ATTENTION PLEASE...
The Holiday Plan's members have started a new band called Stay Puff. Were first in our top 8, so get yourselves along to our myspace and add us! there's more info there. If you know anyone who might be interested in this news, let them know and lets start spreading the word!! nice one!
We formed in 2000 properly, since then we've toured the UK with Billy Talent, Thrice, Matchbook Romance, Jackson United, My Awesome Compilation and Rueben, which was all a lot of fun! We've had four releases, two e.p's through Fallout records a single through Island and we had a song on the last ever Emo Diaries(10) on Deep Elm records.we have finished recording our debut LP, and are currently getting it all together to find a label to put it out. These songs are all taken from it(everyday is winter has been rerecorded, its sonding more rocking now!). We've also been lucky enough to have recorded at Big Blue Meenie studios in New Jersey with Tim Gilles and Sal Villenueva, and play South by South West in Texas last year. Sorry this is so stern and stuff! For more info written in a more spritely fashion check www.theholidayplan.com
Check that guy down there in the top 8, Matt Trakker.. he looks cool.. He's me (Matt) in a more chilled form... please add me!! that is all
