Feeling angsty? Let Hands Like Houses help you fully embrace the weight of your less-than-perfect life. Hailing from Canberra, Australia, Hands Like Houses seem to want to reinvigorate the Emo scene. Full of songs about the burdens of life and love, there’s really not a more perfect band to sink into when you’re already in a bad mood. (Thanks a lot, Snowpocalypse.) Hands Like Houses’ newest EP, Reimagine, released late last year, takes songs from 2013’s Unimagine and gives them a brand new, alternative spin. Dare I say they’re better than the originals? If it’s been a long while since you rocked your old Vans and mussed up that more “grown-up” haircut, perhaps it’s time to relive high school or college (probably not your peak years) by spending a few hours at your old stomping grounds where Hands Like Houses (opening for Silverstein) can punch you right in the feels.
