Holding Absence with Arm's Length in San Antonio

Welsh rock band Holding Absence bring their emotive, melodic hardcore to San Antonio for a night of cathartic post-hardcore. The band, formed in Cardiff in 2015, have evolved through lineup changes to a core of vocalist Lucas Woodland, guitarist Scott Carey, and bassist Benjamin Elliott, with a sound that stretches from crushing heaviness to soaring, introspective melodies. Their 2019 self-titled debut earned critical praise for its "brilliantly told tale of love and life," and they've since become a staple of the UK and international rock scene.

Joining them are Arm's Length, along with House & Home and Bloom, making for a stacked bill of rising acts. Expect a high-energy, emotionally charged set that draws from the band's journey from early singles like "Immerse" and "Permanent" through to their latest material. For fans of post-hardcore and melodic rock, this is a chance to see a band that has shared stages with the likes of Sleep Token and As It Is in an intimate venue setting.
