The Holiday Plan ruining their vacation

• 13th Jan 2004

No rest for the wicked! 2004 is set to be a busy year for east London's The Holiday Plan. The next few months will not only see them tour with Matchbook Romance but also embark on their first ever headline tour and fly to New Jersey to record their debut album with Sal Villanueva and Tim Gilles (Thursday, Taking Back Sunday).

As well as all that their second EP 'The Green Lights EP' is out on February 23rd through Fallout Records.

“The Holiday Plan are the best bits of Funeral For A Friend and Million Dead married with melodic, pop sensibilities and super-fucked in the ear. Mar-vell-ous.” – The Fly
