Held. Introduce Themselves With "New You Anthem"

HELD. is a new trio featuring Douglas Robinson and Sal Mignano of The Sleeping and Josh Eppard from Coheed And Cambria. Today, they make their introduction to the world with "New You Anthem" featuring Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance. The track will appear on their debut album GREY, scheduled for release on May 15th via MNRK Heavy.

“I wrote the idea for this song in my room. I was motivated to write something anthemic, not for the sake of being purely anthemic but more or less therapeutic for people who feel down all of the time,” vocalist/guitarist Robinson explains. “I feel this a lot in my life. It’s a heavy vibe I have to push through more times than not. I wanted to write something that encapsulates the feeling of any kind of love as survival. I reference different points of love throughout the song: music, friendship, sound, belief in yourself, and the desire for others to believe in you. It’s subtle but it’s all there: ‘if our infection is loving, then we’re drinking up to the swell of the sun.’ I wrote this as an ode to people who love all elements in their lives with so much passion. Even if you feel yourself beaten and broken down every single day.”

Produced and mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, The Story So Far), GREY was recorded at the Animal Farm in Flemington, N.J. “Recording this record with Jon at the Animal Farm was really special,” Mignano shares. “Jon is a creative monster. He was a perfect match for this band. The Animal Farm itself has an insanely good energy that makes it seamless and easy to create.”
