Having been selected as one of five artists featured on the Rhapsody/Pacifico Indie Music Hub page (www.rhapsodyextras.com/pacifico/), Backlight Records recording artist Holler, Wild Rose! was recently featured on, "BBC Introducing," hosted by Tom Robinson on BBC 6 in England as well as "BBC Radio Bristol Introducing," hosted by Richard Pitt & Gary Smith on BBC Radio Bristol.

Holler, Wild Rose!'s debut album 'Our Little Hymnal' was created over two years and released in September of 2007. Featured as a Napster (US) and iTunes Australia Staff Pick on the day of release, the album has gone on to receive significant airplay on over 150 US and Canadian stations including regular spins on stations such as KCRW, WXPN, WBOS, XM Satellite Radio and Bagel Radio. Additionally, 'Our Little Hymnal' is also currently being heard on internet and terrestrial radio stations in Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Australia and The United Kingdom.

Since the album's release, Holler! has been featured on NPR's Second Stage, in Performing Songwriter Magazine, as a Sonicbids Spotlight Artist, a CMJ Festival 2007 Artist of the week and Mathieu Schreyer of KCRW selected Our Little Hymnal as one of his top 10 albums of 2007.

Holler Wild Rose!'s song "Marylawn Hair" was featured as part of the FILTER Magazine "Subway Series" Compilation released for CMJ 2007 (alongside artists such as PJ Harvey, Joy Division, Counting Crows and Oslo) and their song "Sun Vines" is included in the 2008 TEVA Anthology Vol. 6 (with Iron & Wine, Nada Surf, Sia and Dave Matthews). Additionally, Holler, Wild Rose! was selected as FILTER Magazine's March 2008 Undiscovered Band of the Month leading to features on the band on FILTER's website and in their print magazine.

In December of 2008, Holler, Wild Rose!'s Christmas song, Born In A Cave, was featured as part of the "Amazon.com 25 Days of FREE" Christmas promotion (alongside Rosie Thomas, Sixpence None the Richer, Bela Fleck and more) and they recently completed taping for the nationally syndicated music show, Fearless Music TV.

Ted Leibowitz of Bagel Radio had this to say about Our Little Hymnal:

"Had The Verve not imploded, and instead hired a Thom Yorke-ophile Jeff Buckley to sing his interpretation of Sigur Rós covering Loveless, you'd have Holler, Wild Rose! Our Little Hymnal creates the dark, almost frighteningly personal, ultimately redemptive atmospherics of a moving black and white art film. This is music to immerse oneself in -- unplug everything else, put on the headphones, turn out the light, recline comfortably, and let the songs carry you off to wherever each takes you."

NPR's Second Stage said: "Holler, Wild Rose! channel psychedelic energy into powerful, moving shoegaze rock."

New Jersey's own music paper The Aquarian has heralded the band's "lush, warm tones" and stated that Our Little Hymnal "has enough character to stand out on its own, which is a laudable thing in this genre."
