"On the fine Language of Stone (www.languageofstone.com) vinyl LP SMOKE SIGNALS, the late-60s inspired power trio Heavy Hands comes across as a younger sibling of Highway Robbery, Dragonfly or one of those generic turn-of-the-60s/70s Detroit proto-metal bands. However, this storming recording burns with the intensity of most live recordings and that’s the whole difference. Strangely, Heavy Hands’ musicians exhibit so few signs of any post-punk influences that it gives the LP a fetishistic nature, somewhat like hanging out with a lost airman from WW2 who never found out the war was over. Hey, that’s it; these druids sound like early ‘70s German or Danish rockers. No Grunge, no Stoner, nuthin’! Now, anything that spooky is worthy of investigation!"
FYI these lost airman are currently at work on a new batch of studio recordings, stayed tuned as some sampling of these new recordings should appear in the next couple of months on our page.
