We’ve already made it very clear that we’re huge fan of Cleveland’s alternative rocker Holden Laurence (you can even check out our exclusive interview with him here). And guess what? His latest release, “Friendship and The Fever,” does not disappoint. Equal parts The Cure, The Killers, and Ryan Adams, I don’t know how that combination works, to be honest, but trust me: it does.

Vintage synths swirl above raw, earnest vocals, while a driving rhythm section keeps the song moving and grooving.
