Hold On - by subseven

Oh, how I wish some bands didn't have to break up...
subseven is from Weatherford, OK.  They formed in 1999, & remained independent for 4 years, & in that time, they released 2 EP's: "The Black Album" in 2000, & "Larusso EP" the subsequent year.  They signed with Flicker Records, where they release "subseven: the EP" in 2004 with producer Bob Burch (Number One Gun, Olivia the Band).  In an interview, the band explained the meaning of their name:
"subseven is two words. Basically, 'sub' is short for submitted & 'seven' is God's number, & the name just means submitted to God"*
Since their inception, they've played with the likes of Project 86, Pillar, Falling Up, Disciple, & even Stryper.  But their next & final release came out in 2005, also on Flicker Records.  Their final show was on December 3rd, where they "recorded the video for 'Hold On' at OKC's the Green Door; after the video shoot the band announced that they were calling it quits. They played their last show that night"**.  This song is from that album, called "Free to Conquer".
