HOLD ‘EM – GREASY LONDON ROCK HITS THE CENTRAL

Nothin’ better than a band of greasy Canadians…and that’s what Hold’Em is. These guys hail from London, Ontario and just released their new single "Bender". Definitely appropriate track title. Fast and loud is the only way to describe this track. Clearly some Motorhead influences as they wail away through the verse and chorus. A bridge finds its way in there with a much more melodic tone to it and cleaner vocals giving it a nice dynamic. Totally some 90’s vibes in this track too reminding me of a mix between Pantera and the Smalls. Stellar lineup at the Central this Saturday with Hold’Em and Wine Lips opening for Two-Bit. – Kris Gies
