| RANDOM HAND from Keighley in West Yorkshire are tearing up the UK scene, exploding across the nation's dancefloors with their ferocious in your face ska-punk-metal mash-up. Drawing influences from four very different but totally compatible individuals, hooked on the buzz they create as a unit, Random Hand have been taking on all comers and playing alongside the likes of Sonic Boom Six, Leftover Crack, Mustard Plug, Agnostic Front, The King Blues and Skindred, building a solid and ever increasing following with their intense and dynamic shows. May 2007 saw the release of the band’s debut album, 'Change of Plan' on Riot Music to great reviews and a summer of constant touring including the Rebellion and City Invasion festivals and cumulating with a triumphant set headlining the Topman Unsigned stage at the Leeds Carling Weekend. The year ended with the band on tour with skapunk legends the Voodoo Glow Skulls, impressing the Glow Skulls enough to be invited to join the band on tour in America in Spring 2008, followed immediately by dates in the UK with Sonic Boom Six and Big D & The Kids Table and heading into another busy summer capped with two storming sets opening the Lock Up Stage at the Reading & Leeds festivals, before finishing the year as guests of Streetlight Manifesto across the country. RANDOM HAND's 2nd album, ‘Inhale/Exhale’ is set for a February European release on ‘Rebel Alliance Recordings’ with a U.S.A release to follow late Spring, accompanied by almost constant touring throughout the year. The album release coincides with the band's guest spot on Reel Big Fish's February UK tour. Dates for the tour are as follows: FEBRUARY 9th - CAMBRIDGE - JUNCTION 10th - SHEFFIELD - CORPORATION 11th - NORWICH - UEA 12th - PETERBOROUGH - CRESSET 13th - BIRMINGHAM - CARLING ACADEMY 14th - MANCHESTER - ACADEMY 15th - LIVERPOOL - CARLING ACADEMY 16th - NEWCASTLE - CARLING ACADEMY 17th - LEEDS - CARLING ACADEMY 18th - EDINBURGH - PICTURE HOUSE 19th - NOTTINGHAM - ROCK CITY 20th - BRISTOL - CARLING ACADEMY 21st - OXFORD - CARLING ACADEMY 22nd - FALMOUTH - PRINCESS PAVILLIONS 23rd - EXETER - LEMON GRIVE 24th - CARDIFF - SOLUS 25th - SOUTHAMPTON - GUILDHALL 26th - NORTHAMPTON - ROADMENDER 27th - LONDON - FORUM http://www.myspace.com/randomhand "A punk rock mashup that will have you moshing one minute and skanking the next. Triumph awaits for Random Hand." - Big Cheese Magazine "The band's ability to show their varied musical influences shines through consistently, making for an extremely interesting and ultimately enjoyable listening experience. So whether you like brassy ska-punk ('Snakes and Ladders') or something a little more aggressive (most of the other songs) there will be something for you on this record. One of the UK 's best underground bands, hopefully this will help them get the credit they deserve." - Punktastic.com "The pace and tone are furious for the most and all in all a fine effort from a hard working band." - Distorted Magazine "Random Hand entices an entire dance floor assembly, serving a concoction of metal, punk and ska. Considering the early time the sheer number of people pogoing from opener 'Answers' to closer 'Anthropology' is a sight to behold. Who says all Londoners stand about with their arms crossed?" - www.skacommunity.co.uk |
