New Band Day: We All Have Hooks For Hands

The other day I was just sitting around, waiting for The Arcade Fire to give me some new songs to listen to. Around lunch I realized that that was not going to happen anytime soon and I was sad. Then I came across a band that seemed to say, “Don’t be sad, Tam! We may not be The Arcade Fire, but we can rock the orchestral, melody-driven indie just as hard.” I should probably worry about the fact that I have imaginary conversations with bands, but what I’ve heard from We All Have Hooks For Hands so far is worth a little bit of schizophrenia.

They’re an eight-man band – they just added their last two members two months ago – from Sioux Falls who, according to their myspace bio, started this band as a side project for their friends, so “let’s fucking have fun”. Well, Mission Accomplished. Even though I’m not their friend, I’m having the time of my life listening to them.

The three songs on their myspace page make me feel like a kid in front of a closed toy store, because I want something to take home with me now. Luckily they are working on a full length album and I hope they’re hurrying. Apparently they have released an EP, but it’s harder to find than WMDs in Iraq. I may not be the most topical blogger, but it still applies.
