Between rock and post-hardcore, Holding Sand has been growing up pretty fast since 2007. Their music can be defined as a mix of powerful riffs and catchy melodies, carried by their unwavering energy and a massive sound.

After they released their first EP « Ebb & Flow » (2009) greeted by the critics, and went on a promising national tour of more than 30 dates, Holding Sand put out their new 5-tracks « On Sleepless Nights » in 2010. It was recorded by David Potvin (One-Way Mirror, Lyzanxia, Sexypop…). Darker and heavier than what they sounded like in the past, the band is catching the attention of an ever-growing and anthusiastic audience.

The quintet took things up a notch when they unveiled the music video for the song « On Sleepless Nights » (directed by Benjamin Cappelletti : My Own Private Alaska, Sidilarsen…)

They quickly put a 25-minutes long documentary about the band online, called « Holding Sand : Inside », and launched on february 2011 a 6-episodes web-serie about their lives on tour called « The Holding Sand Chronicles », before hitting the studio again in april.

After the successful release of their two first EP’s, the band is about to distribute their first album « Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid » in january 2012 through M&O Music.
