Western Massachusetts band Holder has quickly become the most talked-about name in the current wave of screamo-leaning hardcore. Formed in 2024, the group drew early attention with their self-titled debut EP and soon found themselves sharing stages with bands like Static Dress, Balmora, February, and Skycamefalling. Now, with the release of the two-song EP, Ruin the Best of Me, Holder are pushing their sound further while introducing vocalist Brie Percy as a key creative voice in the band’s evolution.
