Hold Fast are a female fronted four piece alternative
rock band, they have been together since 2005 but
are still relatively unknown within the music business,
however things seem to be going in the right direction
for Hold Fast now, over the last year they have
supported bands such as White Lies, Grammatics The
Horrors, White Denim and many others, they have
also headlined a few club nights, been featured
on BBC radio and even been featured on the cover
CD of the October edition of The Playground.
The bands management have sent me a demo CD which
features their new single ‘Jaws’ as
well as ‘The Curse’ and ‘Lie’,
the production of the CD is pretty much spot on
and the sound that Hold Fast play is like Siouxsie
And The Banshees crossed with the Sohodolls.
‘Jaws’ is the best track on the CD
and it is crammed with electronics and synthesized
sounds, Roberta does a great job with her lead
vocals which come across quite beautiful sounding
with a slight punky edge.
‘Lie’ opens up with mellow soundscapes
but soon builds up into a massive sounding track
as soon as Roberta’s free flowing vocals
come in, the basslines throughout the song are
majorly bouncy and the overall arrangements and
sound of the song will have you tapping your foot
along.
Overall I feel that Hold Fast have a lot of potential,
they sure know how to craft a big catchy song
together and they also know how to make a lot
of noise whilst keeping everything in place and
sounding good, what stands out most about Hold
Fast is the beautiful lead vocals.
4/5
