The Xcerts reveal new video for ‘Hold On To Your Heart’
The trio have also announced plans for a UK tour in February and March 2018.

The Xcerts have unveiled their new video for track ‘Hold On To Your Heart’.
The trio, who are set to release their fourth album of the same name early next year, have also announced plans to head back out on the road for a UK tour in February and March 2018.
The band’s new clip comes directed by Chris ‘MUG5’ Maguire and sees the trio hanging out by the sea in Brighton while accompanied by a rather noteworthy and handsome dog.
Speaking of the track itself, frontman Murray Mcleod has said: “‘Hold On To Your Heart’ was the first song we worked on with our producer Gary Clark and it’s a song that we had to write in order for me to create some closure around the end of a 5 year relationship. I’m not kidding when I say the words just poured out of me as if they’d already been written and it took just 15 minutes from writing the first line to recording the whole thing.”
The band will also be celebrating the release of their new album with a full tour of the UK next year. Tickets go on sale later this week.
