Submission Hold - What Holds Back The Elephant

Since 1993 East Vancouver agit-punk band Submission Hold has been mixing radical politics with genre-bending sounds, and challenging the musical and intellectual assumptions of their audience. In their 10+ years as a fiercely independent band, they’ve recorded two records for Goleta, CA’s Ebullition Records, and played countless basements, community halls, and squats in over 20 countries. What Holds Back the Elephant, their third full length and debut for G7, finds them using elements of eastern folk, free improv, punk rock and whatever else crosses their musical palate to form the musical base of their collective ideology.
