Holding Absence: ​“COVID underlines the fragility of everything” Holding Absence frontman Lucas Woodland reflects on his personal trauma ahead of the band’s K! Pit stream.

In the case of Lucas Woodland, the singer with melodic Welsh post-hardcore crew Holding Absence, he has felt its impact on both a professional and on a deeply personal level. “If I’m completely honest, the whole experience has been really bad,” he says candidly. ​“For me the fact that live music has stopped has been a really negative experience. Who I am day-to-day and who I am in Holding Absence are different people, or at least different sides of me, and having the Holding Absence side of me stripped away has felt weird and horrible. But you have to do what you have to do to get through this, and we have to wait for life to resume. At my age, that’s just hard to do because you want to be out there grabbing life.�
