Arguably, nothing The Xcerts are doing hasn't been done before ... It's just that The Xcerts do it better than anyone else, with the perfect blend of swagger, guts, and old school songwriting chops.
The Xcerts are branching out. Hold Onto Your Heart is step up musically and lyrically. It is poetic with perfect rhythm.
With ‘Hold On To Your Heart’ the trio have crafted another bold and brilliant album which soars higher than ever before.
Every song leaps to action, be it immediately or with a tentative build, capturing the essence of what’s fun about life.

THIS IS THE BEST "EMO?/INDIE ROCK" ALBUM OF THIS YEAR SO FAR.
The song Hold on to Your Heart is a pearl of album.
When this album goes full-on nostalgic pop rock, it's hard to think of an artist that's had as much fun in 2018 as The Xcerts. Sadly that's only contained to a few songs and while nothing is detestable by any stretch, it's a safe album that may often underwhelm.
