Submission Hold were notable for helping introduce throughout the 1990s certain elements of European anarcho-punk and folk-punk to the North-American punk scene. They have fostered strong connections internationally, having toured in over twenty countries and having released records in Canada, on the United States' Ebullition Records, the United Kingdom's Flat Earth, Argentina's Civolentia Violenta, and Australia's Radio 1. Their recordings were also independently re-released in Indonesia, Poland, and Brazil, and on over 50 compilations. Bassist Andy Healey is known within the Canadian zine community for writing the zine I'm Johnny and I don't give a fuck.

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or influence:
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“For character too is a process and an unfolding ... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protruberent there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
