June Highlight : Or The Golden Handshake

OR THE GOLDEN HANDSHAKE were one of those bands that everyone seemed to be talking about but no-one had heard. Now however, it seems the secret is slowly leaking out into everyone’s consciousness. They’ve been copping plenty of attention after a several show.

Their single ‘Burning the midnight candle for your last goodbye’ is a controlled exercise in less is more. They’ve got these lovely jangly guitars and odd timings that are all wrapped up in this great current of melody that flows through the whole song. Think bands like AT THE GATES but with a little less of the experimental edge and more of an accessible ‘that chorus is stuck in my head’ kind of slant.
