Artist History
With a name inspired by J.D. Salinger's beloved fictional teenager, Holden Caulfield, Holden is everything you would expect from a teenage boy, times four. The past year and a half has proven that sometimes the most infectious attitude is that of a care free kid. Holden has managed to work as hard as any up and coming band around. Only 18 months into their career as a group, Holden has managed to tuck quite a bit under their collective belt, and there is more than ever on the horizon.
The band has just completed their first full length album. The appropriately witty titled, "Selling To Miners" has 12 thoughtful and catchy songs that been gaining the attention of well respected Recording Labels in Los Angeles. The LP was mastered by well known and respected Eddy Schreyer of Oasis Mastering in Studio City. The album was produced by former Mad Caddies drummer, Todd Rosenberg, and his brother Chadd. This has all the makings of a hit. The guys are not going to wait for fate to find them though, the band has a few things up their sleeves. After a pretty busy month of May the real test begins. Holden gra duates high school in June and a week later they?re taking off on a 60 date summer tour. With almost a show every day, there is a lot of work ahead. Beginning in San Diego on June 23rd, Holden will be discovering the western United States at the same time the kids of the West are discovering Holden.
The new disk is not all that's been going on in the Holden camp though. The band has played many shows with many known bands The guys have opened for Yellowcard, Goldfinger, Further Seems Forever, Common Rider, New Tomorrow, and Blackalicious. They have also managed to shoot two top quality music videos on 35mm film. Back in October and November of last year, the band used MTV's Sorority Life star Candace in the music video for their hit, "Final Impression". They also stopped off in Burlingame California for just enough time to shoot a video for "Dimitrius" at the high school where the movie Dangerous Minds was filmed.
Holden is taking their time and doing it right. The guys want to establish themselves as musicians before they take the next leap.
If hard work is a way to guarantee Karma, then Paul, Tommy, Johnny,
and Dan are doing all they can to seal the deal that they are deserving
of all the great things that lay ahead.
