ABOUT HOLY LOCUST

Hailing from New Orleans, Holy Locust has built a loyal following through years of relentless DIY touring and a genre-defying blend of folk, punk, Americana, and old-time influences. Their live performances are equal parts high-energy and deeply heartfelt, as at home in a listening room or theatre as it is underneath a highway overpass or punk house basement. Holy Locust's music is a unique and at times haunting statement of defiance against the exploitation of consumer culture, making every show a unique experience.

NEWEST ALBUM

About Sophomore Album "Beneath the Turning Wheel" Released June 16th, 2023:

The second full length album from New Orleans crusty folk hexad Holy Locust, is a lively expression of the anxiety, anger, and elusive hope symptomatic of living through these precarious times. Existential and political themes wind through an aggressive and delicate soundscape adorned by orchestral strings that ascend and fall while dynamic rhythm changes give way to anthemic melodies and eerie harmonies. BTTW reminds us we are passengers barreling towards some unknown cataclysm many of us already being churned beneath the wheels and machinations of a few madmen or confined by devices of our own making. It is a triumphant soundtrack for searching through strange and desolate lands to find the others willing to storm the engine and take back our lives.
