Examining The New Wave Post Punk Music Of Holy Wire

When you come across musical terms like New Wave Post Punk, the best bands of the 80s surely come to mind. But let me tell you, there’s a cutting-edge artist nowadays called Holy Wire who’s reinventing this style with top-notch songs and high-quality videos.

Alain Paradis is the creative mind behind this musical project. When you hear his tunes, you might think he’s from the UK because you can feel the strong influence of bands like Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, New Order, and Depeche Mode. But in reality, Holy Wire hails from the United States and creates New Wave Post Punk jams right in Austin, Texas.

With a deep, passionate, and commanding voice, Alain’s vocal range fits perfectly into dark-themed compositions. Moreover, he excels at singing introspective aspects that easily resonate with your own life.

Besides, you can always count on dreamy synths and electrifying guitar solos as part of the instrumentation.

This year, his discography was enriched with two true gems: “I Still Feel Alone All The Time” and “The Ending Of An Age.” Below, you’ll find the official visuals and a brief review.

I Still Feel Alone All The Time

No doubt, loneliness is an epidemic of the 21st century, and this cut captures the feelings that come with it, providing a few minutes of comfort to those who experience it. Additionally, here you’ll witness Holy Wire’s excellent songwriting skills, but at the same time, his keen sensitivity when expressing raw, sincere, and realistic words that go straight to the heart.

The Ending Of An Age

The rhythm feels a bit more upbeat and energizing than the previous song. Interestingly, it’s based on the science fiction film, Melancholia, and that’s why its lyrics revolve around existential and survival questioning.

Something futuristic, just like many of his other dope pieces that you can hear on his latest album with the same title, ‘The Ending Of An Age.’
