Cut Off Your Hands - Expectations
Cut Off Your Hands - Oh GirlCut Off Your Hands - Free Download
Having just finished playing with Black Kids and their own UK headline tour, Cut Off Your Hands are offering their increasing fan base a free download from here It is a cover of The Sonics', one of their many influences, The Witch.
Putting their own evident stamp on The Witch, complete with tight riffs, distinct vocals and undisputable attitude, you can certainly recognise Cut Off Your Hands' roots stem from punk and 50s and 60s pop. The Witch is one of several covers you can hear in their already prolific live shows, due to front-man Nick's energetic stage antics. Like Iggy Pop before him, Nick wants to consistently impress the crowd and make them respond to the band.
Although Cut Off Your Hands have managed to create an amazing cover of The Witch, this only emphasizes the magnitude of their own ability, and with forthcoming single Expectations and album produced by Bernard Butler (Suede, The Libertines, Duffy) on the horizon, they have nothing to hold them back from conquering the UK.
The quartet, native to New Zealand have played with Foals and more recently, The Wombats who they are joining again on their Australian tour, before playing Japan's Summersonic, MTV's Snow Jam and returning to the UK supporting We Are Scientists.
The single Expectations'is released on sixsevenine on 18th August.
