B-Sides & Rarities: 1997-2004 (BTR068)

by Open Hand

supported by

Blast Head Records This is a major surprise to me as all the songs on here are amazing! How did this unreleased demo material go unheard for so long, it quite honestly should have been their next release. Might be called B Sides but it is 100% the A Sides of 'You and Me'. You better grab this!

astrozombiebraineater I feel that this release contains some of Open Hand's best material. Tracks 1-4 are demos of songs I was already familiar with from the band's early releases. Then when I listen to tracks 5-13 I realize now that this is the foundation for the album that I really was hoping to hear next after first discovering the band in 2003 when The Dream was released on Trustkill Records. Favorite track: Further Down (Unreleased Demo).
