About Me
Holden Caulfield, in a way, has always been more like a collective instead of just a band. Through every member, past and present, something was given to the greater good that is Holden Caulfield. Those still involved keep going forward, reworking and refining every detail of every song to their idea of perfection. It took a few changes to have a lineup that could spend a lot of time on the road and, as it turns out, there has never been a more solid group of musicians.
The success of their EP, "The Art Of Burning Bridges" and a full-length, "Can’t Stop Now", out on Surprise Attack Records, has proven that hard work, staying dedicated to your fans, and playing music for the love of music is the only way this band knows how to exist.
"It’s been a long road," says vocalist Dana White. "Finding a group of musicians that are both talented and fun to hang out with is a surprisingly difficult task." Holden Caulfield’s most recent EP, “...And Never Will†proves that it was worth the ride down that road. "Every chance we get to hang out, practice, write, and play shows, we take it. I think one of the reasons we’re so happy with the band as a whole is because we all have so much fun together."
That really shines through when you hear the material that makes up Holden Caulfield’s 2007 "...And Never Will", which could arguably be their best recording to date. It captures more of what the band is about in a live setting and also displays more mature song writing than ever before. The EP was engineered and co-produced by Russ Fox (Byzantine, Bleach, Hyatari) at Broadmoor Studios, who has been a part of the Holden Caulfield family since it's inception.
At this point Holden Caulfield is trying to spend every bit of time they possibly can on the road. With a few tours under their belts and countless weekend jaunts, they have played with hundreds of bands in nearly every state on the eastern side of the country. This is very literally the beginning of a new era for Holden Caulfield.
