The Holy Roman Army

About Me

The Holy Roman Army is Chris and Laura Coffey, a brother and sister from exotic Co. Carlow. Away from their day jobs as a doctor and psychologist respectively, they blend samples, synths, vocals and guitar to create music that encompasses electronica, hip-hop, dub, post-rock and shoegaze indie. Their debut album, entitled 'How The Light Gets In', will be released in May 2009 on their own Collapsed Adult label.
