Hands Like Houses

Hands Like Houses formed in 2008 in Canberra, Australia, from members of local bands So Long Safety and Eternal Debut. The band signed with Rise Records in 2012 and released their debut album, “Ground Dweller,” which charted at number 141 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart. In 2013, they released their second album, “Unimagine,” which reached number 37 on the Billboard 200. The band maintained an active touring schedule, including appearances on the Vans Warped Tour in 2013 and 2015.

Their third album, “Dissonants,” released in 2016, achieved commercial success, peaking at number 7 on the Australian charts. During this period, the band toured extensively and signed with Hopeless Records worldwide (excluding Australia and New Zealand where they continued with UNFD). In 2018, Hands Like Houses released “Anon,” their fourth studio album, which charted at number 4 in Australia. This album featured the single “Monster,” which was chosen as the official theme song for WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne.

In early 2024, the band announced Josh Raven as their new lead vocalist. This change was followed by a series of new music releases, including collaborations with artists like Aaron Gillespie of Underoath and Emmy Mack of RedHook. Hands Like Houses released a double album titled “Atmospherics” on February 14, 2025. This album explores various atmospheric layers, reflecting an expansive musical and thematic journey.
