Saint Social - Holiday Forever

Indie rock band Saint Social has released their latest single, Holiday Forever, addressing the idea of embracing one's entire self and finding bliss despite past anguish. The track serves as the closer to their upcoming full-length album. Stream and download Holiday Forever now on all platforms worldwide.

With vivid, imaginative lyrics alongside the band's distinct blend of pop, rock, and synth elements, the song showcases the bright side of their catalog and strives to instill listeners with the same jittery excitement as going on an actual holiday. "Holiday Forever marks the culmination of the narrative arc on our upcoming full-length album," explains lead singer Quinn Erwin, who wrote and co-produced the track. The single also plays as an anthesis to the power-centric opening track, Swagger, released earlier this year, and represents the band's beachier and sweeter side. The songs showcase two sides of the Saint Social coin, and both feature the lyrical motif of the tiger. "Holiday Forever speaks to the healing and ultimate joy of being embraced for everything a person embodies. It also conveys the thought that heartache can add up to something good in the end." The unabashedly, earnest celebratory track was mixed and co-produced by Hunter West (Little Image, The New Respects, Mountains Like Wax) and mastered by Joe Causey (Underoath, Switchfoot, The Dandy Warhols) at Voyager Mastering.

Hailing from the Gulf Coast, Saint Social is an indie rock band comprised of lifelong friends Quinn Erwin, Bryan Bourque, and Justin Gollott. The group’s contrastive sound comes from their individual life experiences and struggles. The trio credits their lifelong friendship and devotion as the catalyst behind their band’s success despite being spread across three Southern cities from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to the Florida Panhandle and Birmingham, Alabama. While Bourque and Gollott balanced professional careers and local band gigs, vocalist Quinn Erwin had previously found success with his band Afterlife Parade in licensing placements for film and TV shows on MTV, Netflix, and Hulu, as well as in commercial spots in Super Bowl LIII and BMW. The band pulls on influences from bands like The Killers, Kings of Leon, The Strokes, U2, and Coldplay while adding their twists of talent. Their music has been featured on antiMusic, Kill The Music, Melodic Magazine, and more.

The lyrics and imagery of Holiday Forever are some of the wildest of the batch, further emphasizing the song's unabashedly joyful and carefree spirit. Embodying the band's desire to share this upbeat, summer-ready track with their fans, you can stream Holiday Forever on all platforms worldwide and keep up with the band on their Instagram @SaintSocialOfficial and TikTok @saintsocial.
