Counterfeit Holiday

Counterfeit Holiday was an American power pop / rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, that was formed in 2004. The band was composed of former members of other local bands, including Standard Grade, Burn You Beautiful and Week Proposal. In 2005, Counterfeit Holiday began work on their first (and only) E.P., entitled Take Two and Call Us in the Morning. It was released in mid-2006 on CD and on iTunes to much critical acclaim.
In 2006, Counterfeit Holiday began working on a follow-up with various releases originally scheduled for late 2006 and early 2007. However, recording ceased before any of the tracks were finished, and the band is no longer together.
In late July 2007, Counterfeit Holiday was asked by representatives of the international Emergenza music festival to participate in its annual event. .
Persona
Each member of Counterfeit Holiday adopted a persona, which they used as a way of independently identifying each member's unique style. For example, Cole Holiday was known as "The Wailing Swooner", which he derived from two different vocal techniques that he employed (among others): wailing and swooning. Chance Holiday was known as "Chance the Christian", which originated from a joke regarding his previous religious beliefs. Joey Holiday was known as "The Bullet", his nickname before joining the band. Jeff Holiday was known as "The Righteous Pounder", a sexual pun on the fact that he is a drummer.
