Releasing a self-titled four track 7 inch, clocking under the 10 minute mark, <strong>Rough Hands<\/strong> are about to make a name for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The basic colour scheme is a concise, no nonsense metallic hardcore punk sound. Tracks like <em>\u2018Dilute\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018Maledictus\u2019<\/em> sees this style delivered in a fast violent tempo in the beginning. This then slows along a mid tempo bass rolling shout out or skull smashing hardcore punk breakdown. The main theme channelling through this chaos are the ear piercing yells from Alex Dench. <!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Whilst this basic, crushing formula rings in one ear, in another small creeping influences of a different nature can be heard. In <em>\u2018Toska,\u2019<\/em> an eerie Deftones-esque crescendo appears sandwiched between the madness on either side. Some unusual tweakings and notes shrivel along on final track <em>\u2018Spite,\u2019<\/em> which showcases a hint of Snapcase. Such little influences do suggest the potential for <strong>Rough Hands<\/strong> to expand on their already metallic hardcore punk sound. This only makes this record and the band who crafted it more of a necessity to a music loving individual.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, <strong>Rough Hands<\/strong> have written a solid piece of metallic hardcore craftwork. Its bite firm with lyrics that can in your brain like a glove, and little influences which may see this band grow into something spectacular if harnessed.<\/p>\n<p>4\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&lsquo;Rough Hands&rsquo;<\/em> by <strong>Rough Hands<\/strong> is released on 20th May through <strong>Holy Roar<\/strong>, <strong>Day by Day<\/strong>, and <strong>Illegal Activity Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rough Hands<\/strong> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Roughhandshc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Aaron Lohan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hidden under the rock that is South London, is a band who are slowly scuttling out, and de-shelling themselves to reveal their brutal nature; Rough Hands is their name.
