Hands First are a Brooklyn-based post-punk and hardcore band whose five-piece lineup blends melodic intensity with socially conscious lyricism. Their 2023 self-titled EP — cited as one of the more slept-on releases in the indie-hardcore space that year — mixes the raw energy of post-hardcore with the introspective vulnerability of post-punk.
