From Hold On Tight (2008). Hold on Tight is the only full-length studio album by American rock band Hey Monday, released on October 7, 2008. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Hey Monday's other songs from Hold on Tight, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
