Facedown Records sign Hands

Christian hardcore hotbed Facedown Records have added Fargo, North Dakota’s Hands to their roster.

The label’s official press release says:

"We are very excited to introduce you to the newest member of the Facedown Family – HANDS. Since forming in 2007 Hands have desired to present a passionate and intense live show. Now, a year later, they offer a performance that is characterized by what drummer Josh Silbernagel calls "beautiful chaos." Hands unfurl hugely anthemic prog-rock ballads bearing the influence of Isis while at the same time laying out solidly progressive hardcore tracks inspired by bands such as Life In Your Way and Misery Signals. Hands will be working with Mike Dresch @ Cathouse Studios (Nodes of Ranvier, The Spill Canvas, War Of Ages) for their Facedown debut which will see a July 2009 release date. Keep an eye out for Hands tour dates to be announced soon including a stop at Facedown Fest 2009.

The band was previously signed to Oort Records.
