To celebrate the release, Holding Absence will be hosting a listening session along with a Q&A on their YouTube and Facebook pages, as well as the SharpTone Records pages, tonight at 7pm BST. Tune in via YouTube HERE and via Facebook HERE.

The band comment on the new album:
“This album is about telling stories that are presented through the lens of hindsight, regret and looking back. There are songs that celebrate life when faced with death, and others that speak to the choices we make about how we live our lives. The fear of love, newfound respect for life and the covering up of depression are all subjects that rear their head. The Greatest Mistake Of My Life exercises emotion in many ways, and that was an important thing for us to do, because emotion isn’t rigid – it’s not just love or joy or sadness – it’s a lot of things.”
