“Well, it’s fast & it holds my attention. Driven post punk girlie groove thang” – BBC Introducing “It’s an exciting track [‘Jaws’]– lean and direct, conjures up a sense of early 80s new wave to me. I will keep Hold Fast on my radar.” – Neil McCormick “Tearing out of Portsmouth and fronted by the sweeping vocals of Roberta Collins, Hold Fast sound like a venom-injected Siouxsie and the Banshees complete with a 21st century makeover. Piecing distortion, throbbing basslines and feverish percussion set the stage for new single Jaws, laying the perfect foundations for Collins’ ice-cool tenor to provide the theatrics to a tight and concise pop song. – The Playground (October 2009)
