G7 to release new Submission Hold record
After releasing two records on Goleta, CA's Ebullition
Records, Vancouver's Submission Hold will release
their new album What Holds Back the Elephant on G7 Welcoming Committee
Records this October. Here's some fun language from the press release:
Submission Hold is now in its second decade of creating and disseminating provocative sounds and
challenging dialogue. Fusing experimental punk sounds with free-improv, eastern
folk, chamber music and radically political lyrics, Submission Hold has created a
style all their own. Dubbed "post-genre" by Pop Matters magazine, Submission Hold
has often been held in the same regard as bands like Fugazi, Sonic Youth and legendary Dutch noise-makers The Ex.
Other acts on the ever expanding G7 roster also are preparing upcoming releases. Quebecois hardcore / metal act GFK's
debut album for G7 is done and will arrive on September 28th. You can find the
track listing and cover art for If Liberty Isn't Given, It Should Be Taken on the label's website.Vancouver's
Che:Chapter 127 will release Martyrs For
Monuments on August 17th on their own CheWorx label, distributed by the G7.
You can preview the 8 track record with a few MP3s on the G7 site.
