Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Reach for “Hold the Line” if you want a serious classic-rock challenge and can deliver the chorus repeatedly without forcing it. The opening line arrives high and the song stays demanding from there. Leave it for another night if you need a gradual warm-up or tend to push when the band gets louder.
