Red Handed Denial - Eyes & Liquid Skies EP [2009]


Red Handed Denial is a femal fronted Post-Hardcore band from Canada. I first came across this band from a youtube clip of them performing a cover of Uneasy Hearts Weigh the Most by Dance Gavin Dance. The cover was ok, but what caught my attention was just how heavy some of their songs got. With most female fronted bands the lead singer generally overshadows the rest of the band, in this case the stand out talent was the lead guitarist. The technical style this band uses is pretty impresive considering they're still a young band. The guitar parts are pretty flawless (aside from the weak breakdowns). The only complaint with this band is that at points they can get too heavy and as mentioned before the weak breakdowns. The lead singer doesent have the strongest or most unique voice but she manages to make her vocal style fit the music perfectly. The lead singer also handles the screams, once again not the best or most unique but screams are screams and they fit the music well (at points). This is the band that will grow on you with multiple listens and has a lot of potential once they find the sound best suited for them. I think they have the potential to take over that female-fronted heavy-ish demo in the scene that bands like Eyes Set To Kill have failed to grab a hold of.

p.s. They also have an insane cover of the original Power Rangers theme song that I included.
