Hand To Hand / Hopes Die Last Euro Tour 2009 |
 A faint sound was heard somewhere in Orlando, Florida not too long ago. It continued to grow and ring until it was forced to be heard. This was the sound of five individuals creating something different, something that had not been heard in such a manner. Blending elements of contemporary hardcore, rock and roll, and old
school metal, Hand To Hand let go of the boundaries and limitations
their previous efforts had placed on them, and played what was in their
collective, bright hearts. With vocals that range from singing to screaming, the band disarms you
with their melodic hooks, only then to knock you down with brutal
emotional breakdowns.
Joining up with Hand To Hand for the European Comeback are Italy’s own Hopes Die Last.
Inspired by influences as diverse as Yellowcard, Underoath and the
Ataris, Italy’s own Hopes Die Last debuted in the summer of 2004 as a
trio. Not content to be defined by categories such screamo, metalcore
or postpunk, HDL’s members each contributed to creating the band’s one
of a kind sonic assault.
Hopes Die Last shared the stage with bands such as The Offspring, Enter
Shikari, Bring Me the Horizon, To Kill, From Autumn to Ashes, A Breach
on Heaven, The Handshake Affair and Caliban. The band also toured the
US with Catherine, Destroy the Runner, Memphis May Fire and The
Messenger for the "Makin’ a Mess in the US " tour.
