Closer ‘Slip’ finds Hold My Own taking control of that aforementioned classic formula, with plenty of parts for two-step, call back vocals, and excellent cymbal use. On the release, guitarist Anchit Chhabra shares:

“As the band continues to grow and evolve, our mission remains the same. Representing hardcore to the grave. This is what this 7″ is about.”

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.
