Holding Air Hostage is a four-part rock band formed by singers/songwriters Jeremy Geltman and Tony Cafiso in early 2008. Lee Frazee, co-founder of Your Speaker Box, found the acoustic duo on Myspace and began working together to book shows around San Diego.

Bassist Jeff Ludwig joined them soon after when they met at a gig at writer James Spring’s home. The addition of Jeff’s bass filled out their sound, and along with drummer Dusty Norberg, they forged the acoustic rock duo into the face-melting awesomeness that is Holding Air Hostage.
