Shane Ochsner, Josh Silbernagel, Chris Schwartz and Jerik Hendrickson collectively are Hands, a Fargo band that combines circling atmospheric guitars punctuated with hard hitting progressions. They are a band in which rock and roll meets ambient hardcore and warm silvery singing rivals hardcore screams. Their songs are carefully crafted and layered with hope and strength, their evocative lyrics and emotional vocals leave Hands open-hearted to listeners. In songs hailed by Alternative Press Magazine as "wave after wave of musical awesomeness," Ochsner's voice carries seamlessly from throaty growl to melodic yell and settles beautifully into sweet harmony.
