Sounds Like “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
