Pint Shot Riot - Holes [Single]
Spacer Icon
To be really honest, the very first time I heard this song, I hated the entire three minutes and thirteen seconds of it.

The vocals are loose and lack in emotion and the lyrics aren’t the best. “We know where you’ve dug those holes,” for example. The more I listened to it to gain some sort of an idea why it had even been brought to the production table, my opinion altered somewhat.

It is catchy if nothing else. It would certainly appeal to a niche audience. However, I tried to listen to the song several times, remaining optimistic, but, once you’ve heard this song you’ve basically heard Pint Shot Riot. I doubt that they will be the pillars of originality in the future either.

They are a stereotypical modern-day ‘indie’ band, which has lost all meaning to the genre and instead have been allowed to record terrible songs like Holes. The song was featured on Soccer AM however and Tim Lovejoy has sung the band’s praises, which will probably boost their popularity a little.

For some reason, they remind me of the Ordinary Boys; which is not a good thing! The song is far too repetitive, by the middle, it is so clear that we know where whoever it is has dug those holes, that we almost wish they’d climb in the hole and take the rest of Pint Shot Riot with them.

The second song featured; ‘Ain’t No Fun (Acoustic Version)’ is also terrible. I can safely say that it ‘Ain’t No Fun’ to listen to it. Though not as bad as Holes. The vocals are whiny and it increasingly becomes annoying making it difficult to listen to the whole song. The melody is decent, but gone are the days of simple songs such as the Beatles’ ‘Here Comes The Sun’ which are so effective and timeless.

Pint Shot Riot claim to be a rock ‘n’ roll band; who sound like everything that has ever inspired them to make music. They do not, simple as.
