   About HOLD FIRE

UP-TO-THE-MINUTE HOLD FIRE NEWS, STRAIGHT TO YOUR INBOX!


Brighton's Hold Fire are, very simply, a band in their early 20s who write great songs together. Their music inspires the same sense of wellbeing as a brisk walk on the seafront on a sunny day: your heart beats a little bit faster; the colour comes to your cheeks – you’re glad to be alive.

Formed in 2002, singer and guitarist Clark would idle away hours during Science lessons, creating imaginary albums and song titles, but needed a band of geniuses to help them become a reality. School friends Sam (bass, vocals) and Richard (guitar, vocals) stepped forward and, discovering a shared love of epic choruses with huge melodies, the origins of Hold Fire were born!

Fast forward 4 years and together with Drummer Steve, the band have been steadily creating a name for themselves and developing a strong fan base. Amongst their achievements they have played in front of over 11,000 people at Brighton's Party In The Park, been asked to support the likes of The Kooks, One Night Only, The Hoosiers and Air Traffic, as well as releasing several sold out, self-funded EPs. They've also made a few friends at Radio 1 and XFM, having gained exposure from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Claire Sturgess and John Kennedy and being one of the most requested bands on local radio.

In the summer of 2007, the band started working on several new tracks with Producer Ian Davenport at Oxfordshire's Courtyard studios, home to Radiohead and Supergrass. Also having been greatly impressed with the band's home demos, Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild) invited Hold Fire to work together on a couple of songs, the results of which have launched a huge interest from various labels and publishers.

Early 2008 saw the band putting on their own club night - The Trigger Club - taking place every other month in Brighton and featuring various local acts, including themselves, to a sold out venue each time. The band recently completed a sun-kissed string of dates in Southern France and have released their debut 7" single in Japan - a truly international take on things!

With a string of festivals being confirmed for this summer, there's lots to be getting excited about... watch this space!! www.myspace.com/weareholdfire
