“With a knack for crafting soul-stirring melodies and poignant lyrics, Benowitz delivers an electrifying track that reverberates with positive energy and heartfelt sentiment. At the core of “Just Hold On” lies a powerful message of finding light amidst darkness, a timely reminder of hope during turbulent times. Benowitz’s gritty vocals soar over a backdrop of Jimi Hendrix-inspired guitar riffs, driving basslines, and thunderous drum beats, creating a sonic landscape that uplifts and empowers. ”
“This is something really special. As soon as it started, my feet were rattling off the floor... What a vocal! It’s absolutely effortless and has such a smoky tone to it ... I grooved along until 3:34 when I sat helplessly as the hairs on the back of my neck were made to stand to attention as the vocalist took out a high note with ease. Astounding track. Absolutely astounding!”
“Both a thought-provoking songwriter and toe-tapping melodist, Benowitz brings an empowering new track, filled with positive energy and heartfelt lyrics... In just a few short months, Brett has made an undeniable mark on the LA music scene, emerging as one of the most exciting and promising rock acts in town.”
“Benowitz weaves a sonic tapestry that resonates with listeners on a deeply personal level. “Just Hold On” is a testament to the human spirit’s resilience in the face of adversity, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s always a flicker of hope to guide us through. At its core, “Just Hold On” is a musical embrace, wrapping its listeners in a blanket of comforting melodies and empowering lyrics... a soul-stirring anthem pulsating with raw emotion and unwavering optimism.”
“While mysterious in nature, the track [Lamb] is straightforward and powerful in its musicianship and gets us excited to hear more.”
