Holice (band)

Holice (pron. HOL-ISS) are a Merseyside based electro-pop band consisting of Chris Oakley, Stephen Davies and Sarah Owen. Holice have recorded one studio album to date. They will feature a song on the last Twilight film, Breaking Dawn.

Career

Stephen and Chris met at drama group, and one day Stephen found Sarah on a set of stairs in Liverpool. He introduced her to Chris and they have been recording songs and filming videos their own way ever since. Their debut single "Make the Night Worthwhile" was recorded in 2008 and released later that year.

Notable influences for the band include Prince, U2, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Biz Markie, The Killers and The Beatles.

In June 2010, Holice announced they would be recording a track entitled "The Hoo Song" for the blockbuster motion picture Breaking Dawn, which is the final installment in the Twilight Saga.

In 2011, the band pledged to raise at least £4,000 for the Help for Heroes charity by donating a week’s worth of proceeds from their single So Beautiful.

Stephen has featured in several television shows including Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Shameless and Hollyoaks. Films include Dancing thru the Dark, Blonde Fist and the yet to be released The Iron Lady with Meryl Streep and Richard E Grant.
