[URGENT ROCK] One of the best things about good pop music is how immediate
it can be. Take, for instance, the new record (awesomely and appropriately
titled Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!) from Curious Hands—16 (!) quick and filthy
pop-rock beasts that cover a lean 20-minute run time. Each track is all
nervous energy and urgency that leads to undeniable hooks and lots of
repeated plays. Think the Capstan Shafts putting out an EP of Ramones
covers. Seriously, this shit kicks. How can you not give it a listen?
MICHAEL MANNHEIMER.
[PUNKISH POP] Local trio Curious Hands is a filthy pop beast that
ranges from noisy, somewhat grating punk stylings to sweet, high energy power
pop. Guitarists/singers Jack Tuftee (a.k.a. John Barrios of Love Harder
fame) and Tyler Riggs (Die Kapitalist Pig, Jesus Burger) and drummer
Nick LaRue take all things catchy and turn ‘em up a notch. Nah nah nahs
are laid over crunchy guitars, power riffs mingle with a clickety-clackety
ride cymbal and classic fills, and clever lyrics are delivered with
just enough vocal strain to make Curious Hands tunes hurt real good. AMY
MCCULLOUGH.

Great show friday! We're looking forward to Kelly's. Also sorry about the name thing. My brain always picks the least appropriate option. Take that, dead horse!
suspect i am watching as the border between endearing and creeping flys past. but it is true. everything is better with hands. well. that i've imagined so far. some equally creepy friends and myself will be at your show friday. you are warned. AND FUCKING EXCELLENT. to keep one from killing and yet inspiring to kill is really quite a feat. meant metaphorically, you know, in the rock sense, of course.
