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. It wasn't very good, neither are the band. They aren't liked within local circles, often seen as arrogant and up themselves as well as being over opinionated on all manner of menial things while trying to come across as intellectual.

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. Sadly, proceeds only amounted £15.36.

Stephen has featured in several television shows including Emmerdale, Coronation Street, Shameless and Hollyoaks. Films include Dancing thru the Dark, Back Door Angels 9, Blonde Fist and The Iron Lady with Meryl Streep and Richard E Grant.

In July 2011 the band announced singer Louise (Loopy) Littler was to join the band as their new lead singer. Loopy's vocal work brought some sort of magic and in July when their single "Release" came out it was instantly picked up and put into rotation throughout many major high street brands in store radio stations and music feeds.

Holice are also talking with the writers of a new Sky One comedy drama, currently with the working title "Sitting", to write and record the theme tune.
