Hailing from Chicago and New Jersey, Hold My Own are creating 100% pure, in-your-face hardcore. With the band members associated acts including The Mongoloids, Shattered Realm, MH Chaos, World Demise, and Sector, it’s no surprise Hold My Own are pumping out fiery tracks made for moshing. Today the band releases their new EP, In My Way, on DAZE, which can be streamed HERE.
Formed in 2021, Hold My Own dropped a demo that same year, followed by the Hold My Own EP in 2022, and released a split with Carried By Six earlier this year. Drawing from bands like Biohazard, Bulldoze, and Sheer Terror, the band take that old school energy and bring it into a modern fury. In My Way packs some serious breakdowns, surprising samples, and guest vocal features from Jon Ortiz of Sector and Senta of Japanese hardcore band Numb. The EP was engineered, recorded & mixed by Andy Nelson at Bricktop in Chicago, IL with main vocal engineered & recorded by Taylor Young at The Pit in Van Nuys, CA.
