 Hands Like Houses are a fresh and explosive 6 piece from Canberra, Australia. With a rapidly expanding international fanbase, the band has captivated audiences with their electric blend of technical, effects- heavy songwriting with post-hardcore passion and stage presence. Driven by rich lyricism and melodic, emotive vocals in the vein of Emarosa and The Getaway Plan, the band presents a complex and finely crafted mix of guitar and electronics, drawing from a broad range of influence including Thrice, The Receiving End of Sirens and Closure in Moscow. The closing of 2011 saw the band sign to the respected record label Rise Records, with their highly anticipated debut album ?Ground Dweller? subsequently announced to be released worldwide on March 13th. HLH traveled to the USA in 2010 and 2011 to record ?Ground Dweller? with Cameron Mizell of Chango Studios (Woe, Is Me, Sleeping With Sirens, (Memphis May Fire). The subsequent single releases, 'This Ain't No Place For Animals', and ‘Lion Skin (feat. Tyler Carter and Jonny Craig)' earned the band over 5,000 independent single sales via iTunes during 2011, and their most recent single ?Antarctica?, released on YouTube through Rise Records, amassed almost 200,000 views in its first month. |
