Brit-rock finds a thoughtful interpreter in Buddhist Holiday, a group that treats guitars like confession. Their sound nods to ‘60s and ‘70s classic rock while carrying the wistful edge of ‘90s Britain, all jangling chords and quietly existential lyrics. Smokey rehearsal rooms rather than stadium grandstanding. On stage, melodies stretch and settle, sometimes slow and reflective, sometimes driving with intent. The band frames each set as a series of small stories about doubt, belief and getting through the week with dignity intact. It feels intimate, almost domestic, as if the songs belong in your own living room.
