DONK!

 
DONK! is comin' at ya with ALL CAPS, an exclamation point, and onomatopoeia! DONK! Band Bio in the form of a poem titled "Fonzerelli's Steel's Rapture" - Rick Diculous lingers in steaming dew drops / DONK! AMP Studio rocks to reflective sorrow. / Eric's bass kicks the knowledge of barren oysters. / DONK! / Fonzerelli's Steel ponders the rapture of refridgerated ecstasy. / Black agony! / Eric head bangs the bananas of Blacky Tobbacky's water. / DONK! Ric's drums weep with inquisitive volcanos.

From Next Best Thing's Best Acts of 2007:

"When Ryan Adams gets you down because of his lack of quality control on his hundredth release of the year, take a spoonful of Mr Holder's immaculate Americana bar band soul boogie elixir. You will be dancing the rough and rumble for weeks afterwards."
 


Music Morsels Review of This Was A Giant

Amarillo, Texas singer/songwriter Luke Holder shows an astonishing worldliness for someone so young. A solid band playing music toying with various edges of folk, rock, blues, Americana and even psychedelic is a great vehicle for Luke's passionate voice which conveys emotion in a subtle way. His words carry unique perspectives on life experiences and true feelings, making you think of legends like Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt. Luke's music is so grippingly honest that he stands quite a distance from the posers in this genre.
