Band:
OFFHANDED is a power pop band from a city called Papendrecht in the Netherlands.
Starting out as a power trio in 2004, the band is now a solid four-piece.
In 2005 the band released their first e.p. From Milk To Beer. A full length album, Dr Phil, followed in 2008. Both releases were well-received and generated a steady fan base in The Netherlands. Their latest effort, the Epinephrine e.p., was released late last year.
While their previous work leaned towards a more conventional punk pop sound, 'Epinephrine' sees the band broadening their horizons. The new OFFHANDED sound shows traces of electro pop and dance music, although their familiar mix of heavy guitar and catchy melodies remains. The result is refreshing: OFFHANDED makes music you can both rock out on and dance to.
OFFHANDED released 'Epinephrine' in the unusual format of a USB flash disc, which includes not just the songs, but many remarkable special features, such as the band’s own Guitar Game. Now everybody can play OFFHANDED songs like a true rock star!
