Hands First channel frustration into ferocity on new single ‘Violence’

Brooklyn-based outfit Hands First return with ‘Violence’, a relentless industrial punk track that captures the simmering tension of modern life.

Blending jagged post-punk guitars with driving, high-impact rhythms, the band lean into a raw, unfiltered sound that mirrors the song’s central themes. Anchored by Camden Phalen’s urgent vocal delivery, ‘Violence’ explores the quiet build-up of frustration, the everyday indignities that eventually reach a breaking point.

The track moves like a lit fuse, steadily intensifying before erupting into a cathartic release, with crashing drums and explosive instrumentation amplifying its emotional weight. It’s a visceral, high-energy statement that feels equally suited to packed basement shows and late-night drives with the volume pushed to its limits.

‘Violence’ further cements Hands First as a rising force in the underground scene, delivering music that is as immediate as it is emotionally charged.
