The HandMe Downs

Core Members Cuddy (vocals) Bob (Guitarist/Vocals) and Ferbus (bass) have have had a rotating cast of drummers over the past few years but that hasn't stopped them from becoming a successful regional band with more than a handful of East Coast/Midwest tours under their belts. Driving forward with the "now or never" attitude expect to see these guys loud and in your face sometime soon.
Since their inception in 2006 The HandMe Downs have been one of the busiest bands in Detroit touring, writing, recording and blazing a trail of adrenaline filled live shows across the U.S. While supporting such bands as The Misfits, Youth Brigade, US Bombs, The Casualties, Time Again, The Queers, Flatfoot 56, The Koffin Kats, The Business, Cobra Skulls, The Menzingers and more. They have also been fortunate enough to preform at the Van's Warped Tour and also a trip to Austin Texas for SXSW.
Their 2008 debut album "I Think It's About Time." is packed with fist-pumping sing along punk in the vein of Rancid and The Bouncing Souls, with a bass driven power chord frenzy recalling the mid 90's punk revival. The albums title comes from the song "My Mind" which has become a crowd favorite to hop on stage and commandeer the mic.
While most bands these days stay put in their hometown, The HandMe Downs are out to win the hearts of punk rock fans everywhere who feel their sound is gone. Big plans are looming on the horizon during 2011. Another trip to SXSW is already planned as well as the recording of their highly anticipated sophomore album, followed by even more touring.
