Track of the Day: Broken Hands – Death Grip

• 23rd Feb 2015

Can you imagine a world where Muse are fronted by Julian Casablancas and do psych-rock covers of Led Zeppelin standards? Canterbury newcomers Broken Hands inhabit that world, and it’s pretty far out…

‘Death Grip’ is the brand new song from these space-rock adventurers and you can check out the track in full below, to be released via SO Recordings. Produced by Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Band of Skulls, Turbowolf), who will be working on the band’s debut album when they step in to the studio over the next few months, it’s a solid first peek at their material.

“I was hearing the jet engines soaring into the sky from Heathrow’s runways,” says singer Dale Norton of the influence behind their space-y sound “They sounded just like fuzzed-out guitar feedback and festival sound drums crashing. Then came more images: planes taking off and people coming up. Turbulence and Paranoia. Engines charging and pupils dilating…”

To coincide with the release of ‘Death Grip’, Broken Hands play a one-off London show at Electrowerkz on March 31. Tickets are available now.

‘Death Grip’ by Broken Hands is released April 6th via So Recordings but for a limited time is available for free download via www.brokenhands.co.uk
