Canberra’s own Hands Like Houses are reminding us just why they’re one of Australia’s best rock acts with the release of their latest single, “Sick.” It’s an epic track, lifted from their fourth album -Anon, which gives the finger to people who try to take advantage of us.
“I think everyone knows the feeling of being taken advantage of – especially when you put yourself out for someone to have them want more,” acknowledged the band’s frontman, Trenton Smith. “Sometimes you can walk away, and other times you just have to take it in your stride because you’re focused on something bigger. Entitlement is bullshit but that’s when you have to remember, with a wry grin, that other people don’t control you.”
The video, shot in the Californian desert, is every bit as compelling as the song it accompanies.
Hands Like Houses’ upcoming tour is their biggest headlining run to date, and you can bet they’ll rise to the occasion. It all kicks off in their home town this Friday.
