Described as “really special” by Alex Baker (Kerrang! Fresh Blood) Hanshotfirst have already become one of Surreys most explosive and entertaining bands, armed with an array of sweaty anthems and a growing reputation for intense live shows. To Those We Have Loved And Lost showcases another step forward for Hanshotfirst. Ranging from the melancholic singalong pop punk of ‘Vagabonds’, to the scream your head off riffage of ‘Jessica’ via the haunting, grand piano led, single ‘We Fall Down’, Hanshotfirst’s debut album takes the listener on a journey evoking a multitude of emotions. The lyrical themes of the album follow closely the trials and tribulations that the band has encountered over the past year. These include brutally honest confessions about the breakdown of a long term relationship, friends moving away to the big city, being alone and the frustrations of trying to achieve your dreams but being held back at every opportunity.
With an album launch show at The Boileroom, Guildford on August 22nd and a tour in September (details below), Hanshotfirst are gearing up for an all-out assault on the latter half of 2015.
