STREAM THE NEW “HOLD A GRUDGE” ALBUM

Insurgence Records has recently released  the new HOLD A GRUDGE album “Doing Time”…here’s what one reviewer had to say about the disc:

“Hardcore punks Hold A Grudge know how to make a riff stick: by nail-gunning it to your noodle. The beauty of knowing what you’re doing reveals itself in the command of the tools of your trade, and the Montreal five-piece show themselves to be master craftsmen on this sophomore release, graduates of the old school of punk and hardcore where power and precision drove your points home. Hold A Grudge reference much in the way of both East and West Coast hardcore of yore, as well as British punk and Oi! of yesteryear, but veteran sensibilities keep the gang vocals, rolling drum thunder and flying up-front guitars both fat and fresh, and fans of the form will be hard-pressed to find any doing it better.”

You can now stream the full album, couresy of the good folks at the Dying Scene punk news site, HERE!

INTERVIEW WITH HOLD A GRUDGE

Aaron from the always excellent Roots Rock Rebel radio show interviews Hold A Grudge…check out the podcast HERE.

From the Roots Rock Rebel site:

Welcome back to another weekly edition of Roots Rock Rebel! This week we had the pleasure of getting a visit in the CKUT from members of Hold a Grudge. Hold a Grudge are a Montreal punk band who combine a bunch of different styles ranging from oi! to streetpunk to hardcore, all with a good dose of antifascist politics, attitude, and fun! They launched their most recent album “Doin’ time” on Insugence Records last april, and it rocks.

NEW RELEASES FROM INSURGENCE RECORDS!

Coming in March 2010!! Check the INSURGENCE RECORDS WEBSITE for more info and some tunes!

REDSKINS: The legendary Redskins were an early-80′s sensation that garnered mainstream attention in England as well as inspiring a whole new generation of antifascist bands. This retrospective set collects early CNT Singles and demo material in a digipack of previously unreleased tracks, including material from the band when they were formerly known as ‘No Swastikas’.

HOLD A GRUDGE: Hold A Grudge drop their most powerful release yet as they ensure hardcore fans get more of the unmatched sound and fury they’ve come to expect from the close-knit Montreal scene. HAG’s love and respect for the punk, oi! and hardcore subgenres are evident here as the band manage to deliver a cohesive and energetic audio attack that smacks you in the face with originality. Guest vocals on ‘Time’s Up’ by Chaney (Inepsy), who is also responsible for the cover artwork.

CLASS ASSASSINS (You’ve Got It All Wrong): Following a lengthy hiatus, the Assassins are back with a new studio full length. A lot of blood, sweat and beers went into this and the end result is something that was truly worth waiting for. And if you haven’t seen them play live lately, you should really do something about that. They’re a phenomenon.

THE CLASS ASSASSINS: (Going The Distance):

Released in tandem with their latest studio full-length, this digital-only album contains B-sides, Versions and Rarities, completely remastered. Only three of these tracks have been previously released! In our humble opinion, some of the previously unused tracks on here rival the ones that were actually used on albums. A must for all Class Assassins fans as well as newcomers wanting to get the complete lowdown on these guys.
