Watch the video for Held.’s New You Anthem, featuring Frank Iero

New band Held. have unleashed a single with My Chemical Romance man Frank Iero.

The trio – vocalist/guitarist Douglas Robinson, bassist Sal Mignano and drummer Josh Eppard – will drop their debut album GREY on May 15 via MNRK Heavy, and as well as the below collab with Frank, it’ll also feature an appearance from High Vis.

Speaking specifically about newest effort New You Anthem, Douglas shares that, “I wrote the idea for this song in my room. I was motivated to write something anthemic, not for the sake of being purely anthemic but more or less therapeutic for people who feel down all of the time.

“I feel this a lot in my life. It’s a heavy vibe I have to push through more times than not. I wanted to write something that encapsulates the feeling of any kind of love as survival. I reference different points of love throughout the song: music, friendship, sound, belief in yourself, and the desire for others to believe in you. It’s subtle but it’s all there: ‘If our infection is loving, then we’re drinking up to the swell of the sun.’ I wrote this as an ode to people who love all elements in their lives with so much passion. Even if you feel yourself beaten and broken down every single day.”
