The Holly Springs Disaster

History

The band toured Canada multiple times in support of their self-released eponymous EP, often called The Home Alone EP. They then worked with producer Zach Ohren on their second EP, Motion Sickness Love, which came out on September 18, 2007, through Underground Operations. Following its release, they joined Protest the Hero and All That Remains for the cross-country Tour and Loathing, which included their first east coast dates. At Canadian Music Week 2008, they debuted new material at The Reverb. Later that year, they supported Cancer Bats on Canadian dates, and in early 2009 they headlined shows across Canada with A Textbook Tragedy, Baptized in Blood, Sights & Sounds, and others. On April 6, 2009, the band posted on MySpace that lead singer Mike had left because his goals for the band differed from the rest. A subsequent personal blog cited health issues and loss of confidence in the record industry as contributing factors. The group searched for a replacement and recorded instrumental songs posted to MySpace. They announced their breakup and played a final farewell tour across Canada in summer 2010 with Structures and Architects. On July 23, 2014, the band posted on Facebook that they would return that year. Three days later, they announced a reunion show in Toronto, Ontario, for December 19 and 20 at the Danforth Music Hall, with supporting bands Structures (19th/20th), Ritual ex. Dead and Divine (19th), and Exalt (20th).
