“As ferocious and fast-paced as you could hope, the ska-legends continue exceeding expectations with their fifth album.” Louder Than War
“A powerful, hard-hitting brew of ska punk, metal, and hardcore with pop hooks that really sounds like nobody else.” Vive Le Rock
Twenty years in, and top of their game, West Yorkshire, Keighley-bred ska punk icons Random Hand have gone from strength to strength in 2023 as they celebrate their 20th year as a band with a new, chart-topping self-titled album. Released at the end of September by Bomber Music as the band headlined their biggest sold-out London show to date for their own Handfest at The Dome in North London, the critically acclaimed album hit number #5 in the rock charts, #25 in the indie chart and #58 in the main physical release charts.
“Getting in the charts isn’t obviously something a DIY Ska Punk expects to achieve,” exclaims bassist Joe Tilston. “So, when I broached it with our label, the unexpected challenge was taken up with excitement and determination. After months of hard work from all involved, we managed it! After a really strong sales week in the charts, it looked for a moment that the goal was out of reach. But getting the whole scene backing the campaign in the last 36 hours was something we could not have seen coming, and it humbled us beyond words.”
“It’s hard to believe we’re 20 years in, when it feels like we’re just getting started in so many ways,” continues Jo. “The scene feels so positive and growing in a way we had always hoped it would, back when we were starting. As long as people want us, we’ll be striving to help elevate and promote the music and people we love.”
Mellon Collies are a four piece Punk Band hailing from Bradford with ft Keira Mellon on vocals, Danny Sapko on guitar and vocals, Adam Nathaniel Hunte on bass and vocals and Shaun Bartle on Drums!
