Savage Hands face their demons on new single ‘It’s Me’

Maryland’s unflinching alt-metal catalysts, Savage Hands, are hitting their stride with this latest run of massive singles and their newest track, “It’s Me”, out now via Oxide Music. Without sacrificing an ounce of their metalcore bite, the band lean into a glossier, hook-driven sound on “It’s Me” that doesn’t shy away from a pop sensibility. Fans can listen to “It’s Me” HERE.

Touching on a devastation and the agony from knowing your own patterns well enough to fear them, “It’s Me” traces the loop of addiction and avoidance while digging into the wreckage of self-destruction. Coming from the perspective of desperation to protect the person they love the most, Savage Hands turn the lens entirely inward, flinching to find the problem staring back at them in the mirror.

Additionally, this summer, Savage Hands will be embarking on The Art Of Love And Power Tour alongside Of Virtue for one of the most unmissable heavy tours of the year. The tour will see both bands trading headlining slots each night, giving fans two high caliber sets under one roof. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

Speaking to the fear and honest woven into “It’s Me”, vocalist Mike Garrow shares:

“Coming from a family of divorce, I was forced to see failure with love at a young age. I think that’s where the trouble stems from and I wanted to capture that essence of being scared to try. A lot of people may experience a relationship when it’s going great and there’s only 2 ways to go from there…forever or it doesn’t work out. This is from that in-between point where you have to put 2 feet in or get out. Trying to trust in everything you’re afraid of while putting it all out there is really hard to do, but 100% necessary when you know you’ve found the one.”

Guided early on by multi-platinum producers Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Sleeping With Sirens, etc) and Lee Rouse (The Funeral Portrait, Teddy Swims, etc), Savage Hands have sharpened their craft into a volatile blend of ominous atmosphere, sledgehammer riffs, and skyscraping choruses. A hybrid sound that dissolves the lines between post-hardcore, metalcore, and alternative rock, all while hitting with precision and purpose.

Propelled by the success of previous singles, “Demon”, “Washed Away”, and “Halo”, the quintet have been in constant forward motion since their 2018 debut, amassing over 55 million streams along the way. From steely Maryland roots to festival stages, Savage Hands‘ relentless drive has shaped a previous that thrives on the collision of chaos and catharsis bleeding into one another. With their latest releases, “Feel Me”, “POWER”, “Trust Issues”, “Reload Repeat”, and “Trace Erase”, Savage Hands are opening the door to a new chapter, one that’s heavier, sharper and more unapologetic than anything that’s come before.
