Hands Make Fire are a band from London. A band with 4 guys vying for a little bit of the limelight. The big tour. The big time. Story sounds familiar right? Or and rather more aptly this is a band that consists of four guys that just truly love making music straight from the heart. Guys that absolutely bust their balls to give something back to the musical world that they have received so much from.
The guys are massively inspiring and with this new song are beginning the energy sucking task of fighting against everyone else to have their music heard at the same time as living their day job sideline lives! This song best not live up to its title by being their 'Parting Shot' because it would certainly leave me wanting more especially as I quickly used up all of my Spotify listens when I saw they had released this new vibe.
With a Paul Smith and Maximo Park inspired entrance the song quickly slips in with a beat that has your brain nodding and your tarsals tapping. With the underlying feelings that the daily grind is getting a little too much and that being let down is the norm the song captures all of the less desirable things in life. Cold coffee, damp living and the constant dankness. The song gives a strong look at what is hopefully to follow from these guys but we can safely say that the fire has been truly lit! The opening has been made and the torch paper lit.
And if that wasn't enough the B-side demonstrates that HMF also have a softer and more reflective style in their lockers too. I am excited to hear more from Hands Make Fire. They have started my fire. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Next gig is on Tuesday 14th August @ Cable Club at the Prince Albert, Brighton
