New Holland are one of those South African bands you dont see all the time. They look like theyve just rolled out of the UK with their extremely put together look.. And that is an incredibly good thing in this country given we have artists who dress up in khaki and leopard print. Thats what i've noticed about SA bands in the past, they dont look like theyre a unit. Half the time it looks like you've taken 4 guys out of 4 different bands and just mashed them together. But New Holland on the other hand is so fashion forward in my opinion. The guys all have a seperate sense of style but they form a unit. And i just saw their music video for 'Uhuru' this morning.. i honestly thought it was an English or American band because the video was just so good! And their previous video was also very well done. South African music videos used to be horribly bad back in the day, but like one of my friends says, the channel MK and the kind of people involved witht that effort has changed that alot. SA music vids are becoming increasingly amazing and the standard is rising all the time.
Exciting times in SA music!
