Holding Absence is a post-hardcore trio from Cardiff, Wales, that delivers pummelling percussion, striking guitar riffs, and huge choruses. Emerging in 2015, the band issued their eponymous debut long-player via Sharptone in 2019 and made their first U.K. chart appearance two years later with The Greatest Mistake of My Life. 2023 saw the release of the group's third full-length effort, the hard-hitting and inward-looking Noble Art of Self Destruction.
