Hold Tight! PR

What happened in the world of Hold Tight! PR this week - we bring you a brief look at what our clients have been up to.

Another busy week in the office for all of our clients. We’ve helped to launch a new record label, Ghost Music, we’ve been booking our touring clients with tour press all across the globe for their autumn and winter schedules and we’ve been falling heavily in love with the forthcoming release from Uneven Structure which we think will hit many of the albums of the year lists, because it geniunely is that epic. Floyd meets Meshuggah via a small cuddle from Devin T. All this and we’ve still found plenty of time to seek solace at the bottom of a barrel of Jagermeister, get some old school surfing in and also do epic shit like playing the Top Gun theme tune whilst heavily drunk at a wedding. Yeah, you heard. Here’s James HT!PR sozzled out his twang and pulling many Vai faces.

REVIEW! ALT SOUNDS (UK) review 81% -“Each listen reveals new subtleties to the playing, a cheeky little guitar trick here, a piano line there, sweeping and haunting atmospherics underlying the whole thing which you probably won’t notice on the first listen as you’ll be pinned against the wall with your face melting.”

REVIEW! - DON’T COUNT ON IT review 7/10
