Human Hands

The Profile

Human Hands were an American post-punk/new wave group from Los Angeles active in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Their self-titled collection was released in 1982 on Bruce Licher's Independent Project Records.

Played at Club 88 in West L.A.; used keyboards; described in reviews as a 'synth art surf punk' and distorted pop outfit; their material was issued as a double vinyl collection in 1982 by Independent Project Records; the band had disbanded by the time of that release.

A vivid, celebratory review that frames Human Hands as an eccentric, keyboard-wielding LA post‑punk group. The reviewer praises the band's distorted pop/synth sound, DIY release on Independent Project Records and their live energy at Club 88. The album is presented as a recovered underground gem.
