cut off your hands

Since forming in 2006, London-based, New Zealand band Cut Off Your Hands have created a industry buzz based around their proto-punk indie rock sound.

No Age / Brain Burner
They kind of remind me of a noisier, less geeky Descendents. This song is a nice, melodic, catchy tune.

Bad Brains / Attitude
It could be any song from this record. I love these guys: all that positive energy, super fast, bad ass riffs, and HR acting like a menacing lunatic on vocals.

The Germs / Throw It Away
I really like this one, particularly the memorable little riff and Darby Crash’s sloppy snarl over the top of it.

Black Flag / Fix Me
Like a bad ass Stooges, Black Flag rules.

Wavves / So Bored
What is this kid? 21? He made this record in his bedroom. It sounds so cool, like Tall Dwarfs or something Chris Knox would do.

Vivian Girls / All The Time
It was about time someone made a decent record. This sounds incredible, and the girls’ voices and instruments are all rough and ready. They’re the best band in the world at the moment.

Husker Du / Everything Falls Apart
Just the best.

Abe Vigoda / Cranes
This has all the kitchen sink guitars and other chaos.
