Rising stars on the alt-rock music scene, the quartet of Holy White Hounds has all the bite to back up their big sound's bark. With their melodic, riff-heavy rock, the band's debut album Sparkle Sparkle brings to mind comparisons to bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Nirvana and The Strokes. Working their way out of the basement, up the staircase and now onto the stage of the Smiling Moose, these four talented young musicians bring their buzz-worthy sound to Pittsburgh.
