Leader of the highly influential and legendary Holly and the Italians is back! After departures into acoustic and electronic music, Holly Beth Vincent makes a true return to from and punk rock roots with “ Hey Boy” and “Smash” .
What separated Holly from most of her female contemporaries was that she was tuff stuff… sang tuff and played her guitar tuff, really putting the power into the pop. Her performance on this single is no exception. Snottier than thou vocals accompany her chainsaw guitar sound, while that catchy choruses remain completely in tact…the makings for the perfect punk single!
Both songs clock in at about 2 ½ minutes and would make a great addition to her early singles collection. Holly Beth Vincent is a life long musician, major label recording artist, hitmaker, and punk rock icon. Here collaborating with producer Travis Ramin she proves she can kick out the jams at a moments notice.!!

I know it's an obscure reference, but the singer reminds me of Anneke van Giersbergen from the Gathering. The singer of Romero is a highlight of the band's sound, and the power-pop tunes are driven by her. Looking forward to future releases of this band. Bart
