"The lush single 'Holding On' is built on a blunt, weighted acoustic guitar and a vibrant arrangement of strings, bongos, and steel pedal."
FLOOD Magazine

"['Holding On'] is sure to transport you into a bit of a psychedelic fever dream with its wavering melodies."
Indie88

"While it's a song about obsession, it's a lot more introspective than the surface level suggests."
Variance

"Soft-spoken, ballad-esque"
SPILL Magazine

"A nice slice of bummed out orchestral pop"
Brooklyn Vegan

"'Don’t Drop Me' is a hazy, retro single with dreamy harmonies and captivating vocals. The guitar-driven Charlie Reed tune has sunny melodies that are sure to get you swaying."
Indie88

"A wooly groove with airy doo-wop oohs and aahs and radiant streaks of Harrison-esque electric guitar squalls."
New Commute

"With its light, Beatles-esque melody, the band shows that they’ve got the stuff to reel you in with those classic and charming elements that made rock n’ roll so popular in the first place."
V13

"This jangly indie pop number is a great debut release: it has a sound of innocence from a group made up of such seasoned musicians."
Bad Luck

"The fuzzy guitars becomes more refined, creating a warmer, George Harrison-esque acoustic ambience."
For The Record
Today, Chicago indie-rock supergroup Charlie Reed  — members Luke Trimble (Uh Bones), Colin Croom (Twin Peaks), Nick Beaudoin (Spread Joy), Nora Chin, Nolan Chin, Tyler Bixby (Spread Joy), and Justin Vittori (Diviño Niño) — share "Holding On," the third single off their forthcoming album, Eddy, due July 21, 2022 via Earth Libraries.

"Holding On" walks in the aftermath of a breakup, indulging in Western slide twang guitar. But rather than pure sadness, Trimble leaves a bit of real-life uncertainty, the kind of mixed metaphor that happens in that state of shock: "Alive and well/ No mademoiselle/ To keep me here/ No one to fear."

Speaking on their new single, Trimble wrote:

"This song was definitely a product of a breakup. I felt I had been carrying the weight of a past relationship for months and wanted some relief. Pretty simple idea but almost visceral. I had to get it out."
