Random Hand have unveiled an animated stream for ‘Shelter As A Verb’, taken from their newly released ‘Hit Reset’ LP.
Available through Bomber Music, ‘Hit Reset’ marks the end of a chapter in their long grassroots career for the punk outfit, having formed 13 years ago in Keighley, Yorkshire. In that time the band have enjoyed around 1500 live shows, including appearances at Reading and Leeds, and in Russia, America and mainland Europe.
“We’ve sincerely had the best send off a band could hope for,” bassist Joe Tilston explain following their recent farewell tour. “On this tour, we’ve played gigs that have represented every aspect of our career to date, from massive festival gigs to thousands of people, who love our music, to peculiar pubs in the middle of nowhere, playing to a hen party and a load of strangers.”
“We’ve said at every turn, we’ll be back, and we will. When? We do not know. We all have new chapters in our lives to figure out. We still all firmly believe this was the right choice to make for Random Hand. Had we carried on blindly and not discussed the issues within, we would have disappeared or fallen apart. Instead we were able to treat ourselves and everyone else, to one last focused blow out, and leave an album we’re damn proud of. Thanks again everyone.”
