The legendary brothers Jesse and Ron Holt were well-known figures in the Seattle, WA music scene between the late 80s and early 90s.
Well… Under the name “Bondage Boys” and with the help of their long-time friend Dave Hillis (producer and sound engineer of iconic grunge albums such as Pearl Jam’s “Ten”, Alice In Chains’ “SAP”, Temple Of The Dog and the soundtrack to the movie “Singles”) they have re-released the enigmatic track “It’s Coming After”, which became known in YouTube videos through performances by the bands Second Coming and Suicide Bride.
