Drums.ABOUT
In general HOLDCELL has a hard hitting, straight-up rock-n-roll sound with broad appeal. Songs have strong melody making them memorable. Some have subtle modern metal elements mixed with classic stylings like funk and groove, giving them a danceable feel. “Ride” and “King” are well received mainstream favorites, while “El Gallo” and “Sad Dwellings” reflect the diversity of their influences and are noted standouts of their unique indie sound, with Latin and Reggae notes respectively. Lyrics are of and about life's roller coaster for the most part, like the irony of “Withhold the Faith”, but then taking a dark turn on “Flowers on the Hill”. (Lyrics published in CD)

Holdcell
Holdcell Track number: 1 Year: 2006 Album: 7 Heavy Grins Genre: Metal
Their namesake song is a straight forward hard driving anthem that lyrically lays out the framework of their view of music for all to see, yet revealing only the opening salvo of the diversity of a band unconstrained by genre, trends, or the homogenization of modern influence. The song is not over produced and captures the essence of the performance of a 3 piece band which becomes apparent when one witnesses this band nail their recordings spot on live without the use of backing tracks used by some today.

El Gallo
El Gallo Track number: 4 Year: 2006 Album: 7 Heavy Grins Genre: Alternative
In Broken English (for effect). Passionate and Dire! A man gives warning to his friend, as they discus his risky rendezvous with the irresistible vixen, who is in a relationship with the powerful and corrupt Sheriff. Potentially deadly! Stay tuned for the Sequel. There could be a twist!?!
