[TITLE HOLDER] Share First Track of 2023 with "Going Insane" from Upcoming What Better Time (TITLE HOLDER MUSIC GROUP)
If necessity is the mother of invention, then, it's no surprise that [TITLE HOLDER]'s creation was born at the height of The COVID Pandemic. Formed in 2020 by then-Queens-based singer/song-writer Matt Sullivan, his unique take on Ska & Pop-punk is an honest and earnest take on two genres that have seen their fair share of silly fads and trends. The result is [TITLE HOLDER]'s undeniable energy and Pop sensability that quickly gained the attention of Chris DeMakes (Less Than Jake, The Bruce Lee Band,) who produced and helped arrange several of the tracks from Sullivan's debut recorded effort, the six-song EP, The Story of My Life. Ready and eager to bring their energetic live show on the road, the band followed the release of The Story of My Life by sharing the stage and supporting the likes of CATBITE, J. Navarro & The Traitors (The Suicide Machines,) Mustard Plug, The Pietasters, Spring Heeled Jack, and more. Milwaukee-based Interstate Music even selected [TITLE HOLDER] as their 2022 pick for "Best New Artist" giving them even more momentum going into 2023.
In addition to founding member and mastermind Sullivan, [TITLE HOLDER] boasts a rotating line-up that on past recordings has included Dave Heck, John James Ryan, Jr., Matt Weber, Matthew Stewart, and Louis "Buddy" Schaub. Amidst them, [TITLE HOLDER]'s part-time members have collectively spent time both making and playing music with Coffee Project, The Flaming Tsunamis, Keep Flying, Less Than Jake, SOUL GLO, Streetlight Manifesto, Sweet Pill, We Are The Union, Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties (Dan Campbell from The Wonder Years,) and When Puberty Strikes!. Prior to COVID-19, Matt Sullivan served as the bassist/vocalist for Long Island, New York-based Pop-punk band Card Reader, as well. [TITLE HOLDER] is excited to announce the release of What Better Time, their first ever vinyl release, which includes the first-time physical release of The Story of My Life EP along with seven new tracks recorded with Nik Bruzzese (Man Overboard) at The Gradwell House and mastered at Sun Room Audio by Dan Coutant (DOPE BODY, Frightened Rabbit, Iron Chic, New Found Glory.) "Going Insane" is the first of the aforementioned tracks recorded with Bruzzese at the famed Gradwell House. Slated for a June 2, 2023 release, What Better Time shows Sullivan's keen Pop sensibilities and lyrical wit on full-display. [TITLE HOLDER]'s "Going Insane" is now available on streaming services.
