Hand Me Downs

Raglan’s up and coming band, Hand Me Downs have released their debut single ‘Void.’

As the track starts you get the feeling that Raglan influences the sound with the track being very hipster, laid back and folk inspired. The vocals are solid and heart felt, but with a certain strength that is unusual but draws you in. Lyrically the song is described as ‘love from a distance,’ hence the title ‘Void.’

The band are influenced by a variety of genres including bluegrass, rock and Irish music, these kick in when the track picks up and the band comes in with a more rock feel. The Hand Me Downs are able to transition very smoothly from folk to rock, this is a great track, I highly recommend you go and download it now! Recorded at The Lab’s production suite on Auckland’s Mt Eden Rd, and produced by Ben King.
