FACE TO FACE aus Victorville, Kalifornien werden am 27. Juli ihr erstes Akustikalbum via Fat Wreck Chords veröffentlichen. Die Platte traegt den Titel "Hold Fast (Acoustic Sessions)" und enthaelt neu arrangierte Akustikversionen von bisher erschienenden FACE TO FACE-Songs. Zuletzt hatte die Cali-Punkband 2016 "Protection" veroeffentlicht.
Frontmann Trever Keith kommentiert:
“During last year’s Econo-Live tour, we included a VIP package for the first time ever. I wanted to do something more than just signing autographs or taking pictures, so we added an acoustic set every night before the show. What came out of that experience was this realization that our songs, when stripped down, had a really cool identity that didn’t exist the way that we play them as a full band, punk-rock style. We started to notice this connection with the people who were watching, and we started thinking, ‘Maybe we should record this.’”
Anbei stellen FACE TO FACE mit "Disconnected" und "Keep Your Chin Up" bereits zwei Songs der Platte vorab vor.
