RANDOM HAND from Keighley in West Yorkshire are tearing up the UK scene, exploding across the nation's dancefloors with their ferocious in your face ska-punk-metal mash-up.
Drawing influences from four very different but totally compatible individuals, hooked on the buzz they create as a unit, Random Hand have been taking on all comers and playing alongside the likes of Sonic Boom Six, Leftover Crack, Mustard Plug, Agnostic Front, The King Blues and Skindred, building a solid and ever increasing following with their intense and dynamic shows.
May 2007 saw the release of the band's debut album, 'Change of Plan' on Riot Music to great reviews and a summer of constant touring including the Rebellion and City Invasion festivals and cumulating with a triumphant set headlining the Topman Unsigned stage at the Leeds Carling Weekend.
RANDOM HAND's 2nd album, 'Inhale/Exhale' is set for a February European release on 'Rebel Alliance Recordings' with a U.S.A release to follow late Spring, accompanied by almost constant touring throughout the year. You can preview their album live when they tour throughout January and the album release coincides with the band's guest spot on Reel Big Fish's February UK tour.
