Hands Like Houses Announce Intimate Australian Shows In Support Of New Album

Out this October!

More Hands Like Houses Hands Like Houses Profile

In support of their forthcoming album, Anon., Aussie rockers Hands Like Houses have announced some intimate Australian east coast shows this year. 

With the LP due out on 12 October, the Canberra outfit will kick off the run in Melbourne that night, followed by Brisbane and Sydney in the following days, where they'll be joined by Byron Bay's own PLTS.

To coincide with the tour announce, Hands Like Houses have also dropped Monster — the second single lifted from Anon..

"It's crazy how things sometimes come to life when you just let them be. I remember this song, as a demo, always having this raw, rowdy energy, even when it didn’t have much else," frontman Trenton Woodley said of Monster.

"It was actually one of the last tracks to come together vocally, for no other reason than it just happened to be further down the list I had of songs and ideas I was putting together – I feel like it snuck up on me.

"At that point we were really diving into the idea of ‘deliberate instinct’ that shaped the album and the hook line ‘I can feel it coming alive’ we had demoed initially as a placeholder just had a feel that I couldn’t shift to any other lyric. That became the ground zero we built on."
