Hand To Hand

Originating from Orlando, Florida, the emo/screamo outfit Hand to Hand consists of vocalist Rob Kellom, guitarist John Radford, guitarist and vocalist Arturo Matamoros, bassist John Raudebaugh, and drummer Danny Strong. Their initial offering arrived via the independently issued Fast Forward Your Thoughts EP in 2004, which helped cultivate a regional following that led to multiple tours across the Eastern Seaboard and eventual notice from LifeForce Records. The group’s first full-length album, A Perfect Way to Say Goodbye, appeared in 2005, followed by the Breaking the Surface EP in 2008 and the sophomore full-length Design the End/Follow the Horizon in 2009, after which Hand to Hand returned to extensive road work.
