After premiering via triple j’s Good Nights last night, Australian rock favorites, Hands Like Houses are revealing a new track today called “Headrush.”
On the genesis of the new track, the band explain that it was born from a busy summer of touring with little rest and time to unwind, adding, “…now that things have cooled down somewhat we thought it’d be sick to bring some good old windows-down, head-bobbing, ground-pounding vibes to throw yourself into a new decade to.”
Digging into “Headrush” further, the five-piece add that the single is a call to arms to anyone facing a daunting task or decision. The band shares “’Headrush’ is all about pivotal moments – the big call, the big play, the big push – and the voice inside your head that says ‘yeah, nah’ when your heart’s saying ‘hell yeah!’ You’ve got this. Make it count.”
Having spent the summer on an extensive headline tour of the US and appearance at Shiprocked, Hands Like Houses return to home soil to play Download Festival in Melbourne and Sydney later this month, sharing the bill with the likes of My Chemical Romance, Deftones, Jimmy Eat World, Clutch, In Hearts Wake and more. Later the band will head to the UK and Europe for a co-headliner with Normandie alongside a slot on Slaum Dunk. Full details and tickets via the band’s website.
Hands Like Houses has been heralded by top tier press including Billboard, Loudwire, Radio.com, Rocksound, Alternative Press and more. Over the last few months, the band has seen incredible success worldwide with impressive radio and streaming playlist adds with “Monster” landing a #1 spot on SiriusXM’s Octane channel, while also garnering a multitude of adds on streaming playlists. The single has also been chosen as the official theme song for WWE’s pay-per-view the “Super Show-Down” and has also been heard on Monday Night Football.
