They like us, they really like us
Hi,
Just wanted to share some recent reviews with y'all.
First, is one from Ireland's Hardcore Times:
The Hold - Need
This is a 10 track self-releae. The Hold hail from Canada, and like all Canadian hardcore bands I've heard, they play some fuckin great hardcore. Fast, heavy, thrasy, old school, with added The Hold noise. This is pretty unique actually, obviously drawing influences from hardcore and punk, but its quite fast and the production is great, raw but very good.They actually released two albums last year NOISEBLOODASSAULT and this one NEED and are in the process of making a short movie!
Next, is one on Quebec Hardcore News (I can't figure out how to link it directly; it's all qchc dot com. Just go to recent reviews. You know our name.):
The Hold - Need
Divorce Records - 2004
Wow, talk about a Canadian band everyone is totally sleeping out on. The Hold are unequivocally a punk band, but add so much more to the genre. It's mostly thanks to some seriously wicked tempo changes that they stand out. I would say this band is perfect for fans of Negative Approach, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag. I don't think I could pick out more modern influences, but they definitely have an artistic touch of their own. This new CD is 11 tracks, 13 minutes. So yeah, most songs are less than a minute, with a couple being 2 minutes. I'm still surprised this is a Halifax band and that they're not getting talked about more often.
