I have been experiencing some major fits of nostalgia lately.  Now it’s time for a whole post dedicated to that nostalgia!

Just some background: The Promise Hold is, hands down, my favorite band. They haven’t been a band for nearly two years, but each time I listen to them, I still feel like I am 17 again listening to them for the first time. I remember pretty vividly the first time I saw them, it was April 25th, the day before senior prom, and they played with Truce and Kill Your Ex at the Satyricon. Now, I’m pretty sure neither of those bands are together anymore, which makes me think that the Lost numbers had something to do with it all. Haha.
Anyways, from that show to July 24th, 2008, I was hooked. I can’t believe it was only 3 months, because it seems like forever. I swear I was averaging a show a week, and I met a lot of really cool people through them. I would kill for the chance to relieve the summer of 2008. From what I can remember, it was the most fun I had ever had. Period.

Currently, I am finding myself going through old Myspace messages/bulletins around the same time TPH was a huge part of my life. I found this little gem from a bulletin:

I am going to miss:

-Going to shows every week/every other week.
-Seeing the same awesome people at each show.
-Slurpee runs after the show.
-Sitting through one or two horrible bands before TPH comes on.
-Meeting a TON of cool people, just through the mutual liking of a band.
-Everything.

Gosh. Okay, end of my mini rant about how much I adore/miss this band. Time for videos!

Anyways, if you never had the chance to hear them/see them live, I’m sorry. They were truly amazing. Amazing band, amazing guys. A few members are in other projects, so check those out:
