Hands Like Houses - Dissonants

Canberra, Australia’s five-piece Hands Like Houses have already played Warped Tour twice, toured with bands like A Day to Remember, worked with Paramore’s producer James Paul Wilsner, and released two albums.

Heirlooms - Stepping Stones

A two song EP by Australian band Heirlooms, Stepping Stones is a well-produced, energetic, and catchy example of modern pop/punk. In fact, it’s so authentically made that my girlfriend, who grew up on bands like Paramore, Flyleaf, and VersaEmerge, turned her head while I was listening and said “I would’ve LOVED this when I was a kid.” Well, I love this now. I didn’t grow up on postpunk or metalcore, and spent my teenage years more fully immersed in Queen than Killswitch Engag
