Hands Like Houses Release Silverchair Cover & Announce Acoustic Tour

Canberra outfit Hands Like Houses have today dropped their cover of Silverchair's Ana's Song (Open Fire); the second single from the upcoming tribute album honouring the iconic Aussie trio.

"It's impossible to be an Australian band and not have some recognition and appreciation for the huge role Silverchair has played in Aussie music, and the pathway it created for rock in particular," frontman Trenton Woodley said.

"Daniel Johns has such a strong songwriting style, so when were were asked if we were interested in this compilation, it was an intimidating but exciting prospect to try and bring in our own take on their music, while still retaining and respecting what made them such massive hits.

"We're stoked on how it came out and hope it, along with the rest of the compilation, does justice to the significance of Silverchair's role in Australian music history!"

Give the cover a spin below.

To coincide with the song's release, Hands Like Houses have also announced a string of intimate acoustic shows across Australia next year. 

After playing at the sold-out UNIFY festival, the headline run will kick off in Melbourne in January, before the band move on to perform in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra.

Tickets go on sale from 9am tomorrow (27 October); for a look at all of the dates and venues, head over to theGuide or scroll down.
