MV EXCLUSIVE: SAVAGE HANDS ON THEIR FAVOURITE GUITARISTS

Published:

Massive things are expected of Maryland heavy rockers, Savage Hands this year, with many tipping them to go right to the top.

Their music is built on the power of the riff, so it seemed like a good time to ask them about their favourite guitarists.

Last week the lads released their new single. And you can catch the music video for ‘Blue’ here: https://youtu.be/CKxvhKTUaE8

“’The Truth In Your Eyes’ is a whirlwind of emotion, catching a glimpse of life in its entirety. Love, loss, change and empathy. You can expect to be left feeling as if you went through hell and back, but coming out on top a changed person.” – Mike Garrow (vocals)

Just above a scorching sonic fusion of alternative experimentation, metallic energy, and rock appeal, SAVAGE HANDS detail the trials and tribulations of addiction, deceit, depression, and heartbreak. The Maryland quintet, consisting of Michael Garrow [vocals], Justin Hein [guitar], Nathan O’Brien [guitar], Jayvon Green [bass], and Alex Gacek [drums]—paint poignant pictures without pulling any punches on their 2020 full-length debut, ‘The Truth In Your Eyes‘.

We worked really hard on trying to create memorable moments in each song,” says Michael. “The lyrics and melodies were the main focus. It was about doing something a little different. All of the stories on the record point towards truth and lies. If you look at someone, their eyes will often reveal the truth, even if they don’t say it. We tried to take some risks and really just strive to be us.”

The metalcore-infused-alternative-rock outfit introduced a singular identity on the 2018 EP, ‘Barely Alive’. The project quietly put up nearly 2 million total streams in less than a year as they attracted early praise from the likes of Alternative Press who claimed, “it’s the lyricism that channels the most emotion.” In between touring with the likes of WAGE WAR, PALISADES AND KUBLAI KHAN, they signed to SharpTone Records and began work on what would become ‘The Truth In Your EyesSAVAGE HANDS built a full studio at Michael’s place and recorded these eleven tracks alongside producer Andrew Baylis [MY ENEMIES & I, SYLAR]. Ultimately, SAVAGE HANDS present a whole new story for heavy music with heart-wrenching honesty.
