On April 17th, Hold My Own will release their first full length album, Pay No Mind, through DAZE. Formed in 2021, the Chicago meets New Jersey band’s heavy hitting hardcore has roared across four EPs and a split, and impacted stages across the country touring with bands like Terror, Madball, and End It. With Pay No Mind, Hold My Own set out to write a 100% hardcore record that is true to their sound. The result is eleven tracks that burst with heavy guitar-driven rhythms, robust vocals, and explosive breakdowns, as can be heard on new single “NEGATIVE SHIT.” Clocking in at just over two minutes, the track builds off electrifying riffs and lyrics about keeping things moving. Gregory Falchetto’s strong willed vocals match up against furious screams from Fatal Realm’s Mike Shaw, who also contributed a guitar solo to the song. The video for the song, directed by Theo Sicurella, finds the band performing a not so typical dark ritual.
