Formed in 2004 by Dan 86 (guitar), Mat (guitar), JEEE-P (vocals) and Pierre-Luc (vocals), the group originally got together as an excuse to drink and party. But following a self-released demo (2005) and a self-titled full length (2006 on Troika Records), it soon became evident that this union was particularly apt at creating solid punk rock. Many shows followed, both in and out of town, and Hold A Grudge garnered a strong fan base.
After going through countless lineup changes, notably with Pierre-Luc leaving the group in 2008, the band finally settled as a 5-piece with Dom (of Self Control) on drums and Steve (of …And The Saga Continues) on bass. Now the strongest recording to date, “Doing Time” will be released on Insurgence Records on March.17th.
What sets Hold A Grudge apart from the rest of the pack is the unique way they blend all subgenres of punk rock in one cohesive, energetic entity.
Their love and respect for punk, oi! and hardcore bands of yesteryear is evident and contagious, yet they manage to build something new and refreshing.

It implies that the same type of loyalty and camaraderie can be formed in other aspects of life as well, such as in friendship.
