Record/Vinyl + Digital AlbumNew 10 song LP recorded by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios. Artwork by Ron Henry Wells and J.Bannon.
This is a pre-order, records will ship around December 20, 2017.
In an evolutionary leap that would make Darwin proud, “New Magnetic” realizes the potential of the first Holy Hands 7".
All four members have roots firmly planted in hardcore punk and its fringes.
The band is comprised of both past and present members of Sweet Jesus, Fiddlehead, Raindance, Fault, Supermachiner, and Daltonic.
Their new LP, “New Magnetic”, is a 2017 observation. It perfectly captures the energy and spirit of the time these gentlemen clearly came up in. Though decades have passed, Holy Hands feels less like it was influenced by bands like Seaweed, Farside, and Jawbox; and more like one of their contemporaries. I don't know if "Post-Hardcore" is still a relevant genre description, but it fits.
One thing for sure: “New Magnetic" and its’ themes of peace, love and justice are certainly relevant in the here and now.

lyrics
Bombs Aren't Beautiful.
Bombs aren't beautiful, yet often symbolized
By exploding colors upon the peaceful sky.
Bombs aren't beautiful, and too often make mistakes.
The kind that tear your heart out, never to be erased.
Nowhere to run, when it starts up.
Nowhere to run, we come undone.
When violence breeds violence, and yet some expect
peace from this.
Bombs aren't beautiful, yet often symbolized
By exploding colors upon the peaceful sky.
Bombs aren't beautiful, and too often make mistakes.
The kind that tear your heart out, never to be erased.
Nowhere to run, when it starts up.
Nowhere to run, we come undone.
When violence breeds violence, and yet some expect
peace from this.

Springtime and Blind
by Fiddleheadsupported by 10 fans who also own “Bombs Aren't Beautiful”
A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them!

Polish noise-crust outfit eschews the big Tragedy-esque riffs still popular with their US counterparts for scratchy claustrophobia.
