When I first heard about Title Holder a few months back, I was impressed with just how polished they sounded considering they only formed in 2020. In such a short time, they’ve been able to work on a debut EP with Less Than Jake’s Chris Demakes. For the last three months, Title Holder has been teasing out new music, one single at a time. This month, the band released “Hanging by a Thread,” a song that leans more into the punk side of ska punk. Goldfinger immediately comes to mind when listening to the chorus.
If the quality of the band’s first few singles are any indication, Title Holder is on the verge of being a force to be reckoned with. Honestly, it’s not fair that a band this new is this good. They set the bar pretty high with each new release, and just keep getting better as they go.
The video for the new Title Holder single is their most ambitious yet
With “Hanging by a Thread,” lead singer Matt Sullivan took the reigns completely. As writer and director, Sullivan combined some of my favorite things – horror, comedy, and Quentin Tarantino. What ensues is a fun ghost hunting romp that concludes with a very Tarantino-esque third act.
Title Holder is very active on social media. Make sure you follow the band on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram so you don’t miss out on what they do next. If “Hanging by a Thread” is any indication of what’s to come, you’ll definitely want to follow along.
