After eight years together, Meeanjin/Brisbane band the Holy Rollercoasters are calling it quits. But not before a fitting musical send-off. They’ve just released “Down and Dirty,” our first taste of their final ever album, The Last Will and Testament.
As its name suggests, this single is raw and vibrant. It’s pure funk, with big ballsy horns and a groove that just won’t quit. According to the press release, it was recorded with “all the band is the same room, one take, no fancy shit.”
The Holy Rollercoasters will release The Last Will and Testament in early August. They’re also promising one more show, so keep an eye on their socials for news about that big sendoff.
