about

Lace-up your stomping boots, as Canadian rock sentries Holy Tokes are back with their dank and dance-y DNA, with newest single “Ghosts.”

“Ghosts” immediately wrangles the listener’s attention, by opening with distortion so alien and severe, that one would think something is wrong with their audio set-up. Then right before headphones can be untangled or speakers checked, bombastic and brutal drums kick the track off —expertly followed by the yearning lyrical howls of singer Mark Lingelbach.

The track presents all the band’s cards on the table, proving that just because a band’s style is dirty, doesn’t mean the sound is anything but pristine.

“Music that is talking about true experiences and intrigues in our own way. It's different sounding music coming from the most honest, and loud parts of our beings, so we hope you can have fun and get down with that feeling while not resisting the urge to move,” says Lingelbach.

The maestro behind the delivery of the mournful and manic lyrics is not far off, as Holy Tokes evokes a sensation so rhythmic and hypnotic, that keeping a rigid neck while listening would be an almost impossible task.

“[The lyrics] come from collaborative feelings in the band, we often discuss how a song makes us feel or what intentions went into writing the music and apply that to the lyrics. Often human rights-driven or statements on the human condition, what drives depression or passion.”
