Words by Hands Like Houses:
As a hard rock band, we are always interested in how new and old bands approach their songwriting and production as music progresses.


Muse - Unravelling 

This is an absolute weapon of a track from Muse, they have some solid history and nothing to prove, yet they come out with a wild track like this. Get out.


DEAD POET SOCIETY - HURT

Dead Poet Society's album 'Fission' has been one of the most listened to rock albums of the past few years, and their track 'Hurt' is just great for so many moods. It finds this perfect balance of melody, aggression, attitude, and groove.


SLEEP TOKEN - EMERGENCE

Sleep Token are quickly becoming a powerhouse of the rock and metal world. Nothing makes a statement more than dropping a 6:26 single to kickstart an album campaign. The song is redefining heavy music, in a great way.


FLAWED MANGOES - SURREAL

It feels rare that you hear a song start on a riff or moment that instantly feels like a classic. The tone, tempo, and feel of this one hits all the right spots.


LINKIN PARK - THE EMPTINESS MACHINE

Another band who have well and truly earned their stripes, but came back with a new vocalist and have just delivered. The song rules and was a perfect reintroduction for Linkin Park.
