📚 Homework Alert: Lets Dig into Somewhere Between The Wrong Is Right by Kill Holiday!

Part emo, part shoegaze, all vibes—your assignment is to unpack the layers.

Class is in session, and we’re heading back to the '90s post-hardcore underground… with feelings.

Before eyeliner went emo and indie kids discovered MySpace, a band called Kill Holiday quietly carved out their own niche—part hardcore roots, part shoegaze shimmer, part melodic post-punk moodiness. Their 1997 full-length Somewhere Between The Wrong Is Right blended heart-on-sleeve lyrics with fuzzed-out guitars and driving rhythms, landing somewhere between Quicksand, The Cure, and the kind of mixtape you'd play while watching the rain hit the windshield.

And now? You picked it.
That’s right—Kill Holiday won our March Album Tournament! 🏆
Here’s how it shook out:

• 🥇 Kill Holiday – Somewhere Between The Wrong Is Right: 37%

• 🥈 Social Distortion – Social Distortion: 30%

• 🥉 Boom Crash Opera – These Here Are Crazy Times!: 23%

• 🐾 Monsterland – Destroy What You Love: 10%

Clearly, y’all wanted a post-hardcore palate cleanser—something melodic, moody, and overlooked.

So let’s get into it.

📚 Your Homework:

1. Listen to Somewhere Between The Wrong Is Right in full. Bonus points for doing it on a cloudy day or in a beat-up Honda Civic with a broken CD player.

2. Revisit our Kill Holiday band history deep dive for some background on their hardcore roots and transformation.

3. Reflect: What works about this album in 2025? What doesn’t? Does the emo-adjacent melancholy still hit, or does it feel like a beautiful time capsule?

This one’s for the misfits, the mixtape-makers, and the kids who wore their headphones like armor. Episode drops soon—don’t be late. 🎒📼💔
