“Hold On To Your Heart is about finding a pinhole of light in the dark and turning it into the sun.
We really did shoot for the stars with this one.” When Murray Macleod, frontman of The XCERTS,
surmises the band’s new album, it’s with the same wild-eyed enthusiasm and passion with which
he pens sing-along modern pop anthems infused with a thick layer of 80’s heartland rock. His
proclamation of how music can turn the smallest pinprick of light into a dazzling solar spectacle
is the motivating thread that weaves throughout the album. Hold On To Your Heart is a bold,
pure love letter to a bygone era inked by a sentimental hopeless romantic.
Buoyed by the response to There is Only You, the band’s astonishing, life-affirming 2014 third
album, The XCERTS were invigorated and inspired to create an 10-track love-letter to hope,
belief and aspiration. Whilst the songs are shot through with sheer gutsy determination, they
were written in strife but bolstered by a sanguine optimism. The album chronicles Macleod’s
descent into the dark and his determination to crawl back into the light.
