Hands First unleash explosive new single ‘Mask’

Brooklyn industrial-punk band Hands First return with their most blistering track to date, ‘Mask’, a furious, high-velocity anthem packed with jagged guitars, scorched synths, and a chorus that hits like a brick wall. The track cements the band’s reputation for bringing chaos with conviction, fusing post-punk urgency with distortion-drenched intensity.

Led by vocalist Camden Phalen, Hands First emerged from NYC’s basement and rooftop gig circuit, evolving from a casual crew into one of Brooklyn’s most electrifying underground acts. On ‘Mask’, they channel that livewire energy into just under three minutes of sonic mayhem that feels both cathartic and confrontational.

Built on blown-out textures and relentless pacing, ‘Mask’ functions as both inner monologue and outward shout, a feverish attempt to hold it together in a world that constantly threatens to unravel. If you’ve ever needed a song to soundtrack your sprint through a concrete tunnel or your exit from a room full of false faces, this is it.
