“It’s fast & it holds my attention. Driven post punk girlie groove thang” – BBC Introducing
“Stunning live performances of 80’s electro style rock” BBC Radio 6 (Tom Robinson)
“A dark, female-fronted edge and rich, synthetic orchestral, leather boot tapping arrangements – with more than a little of that seventies punk rock thang going on” – The Fly
“It’s an exciting track [‘Jaws’] – lean and direct, conjures up a sense of early 80s new wave to me. I will keep Hold Fast on my radar.” – Neil McCormick
"Really enjoyed 'Jaws’. It speaks well about the strength of their tunes that I vividly remembered this one from the couple of times I've seen 'em live" - Andrew Morrison, Dandelion Radio
Thanks for reading my poem, I'm always trying to improve - currently re-reading old material from uni and hoping for some inspiration - but the weather is all-pervading at the moment ^_^ I'm still enjoying the CD and badges, have told all my friends about Hold Fast x
I mean try your inbox for my address... the postal strike continues so even if you did send me those free tracks, they won't have arrived. The Troxy is a venue on Commercial Road in Limehouse - East London, recently favoured by the presence of Pete Doherty, Jarvis Cocker, and I think The Flaming Lips are going to play there soon. It's so STRANGE that so many big names want to perform at a venue which caters for boxing matches and even local wedding receptions...! xx^_^xx
Hold Fast feature in my "Peel Legends" October show, commemorating the 5th anniversary of the death of BBC broadcaster John Peel on Dandelion Radio, a John Peel-inspired online station playing exciting new and unsigned music.
Yes, yesh, yesh, you are very welcome to cut and paste my review of your gig. Glad you liked it... there is poetry on offer too, have a read and a murmur when you get a moment. I'll message you my address so you can send me some of your other tracks. Much love! XX^_^XX
