Hold Them Close

“Hold Them Close is a hardcore melodic punk band from Toronto, Ontario. That band is tight! Like a hug that crushes the sternum. Keep your friends close and your favorite bands closer. Like a cigarette close to the heart. I'll be smoking this all night long. It's really great to see Ontario hardcore thriving in 2026. It's metalcore doused with a little bit of skate punk, and I'm ready to light this place on fire! Their latest release is Worn Apart, which came out October 15th, 2026. Check them out!”
