Brave Hands began as an idea and acoustic project from Mambo Lennon in Boston, MA. Instead of sticking to his comfort zone of the gritty Boston punk scene, he decided to move west to Portland, OR. From there, the nascent idea became a reality with adding his friend Max Ono on drums and soon after, another Boston to Portland transplant, Caitlin Bechtel, and now the band is releasing their debut album, To End All Worth, through Salinas Records on August 10. The album cuts through fast-paced punk tunes one after another, and we’re starting a petition to get them touring back east soon to see it live. Songs like “Are You Having Fun Yet?” bring waves of nostalgia for underrated Sub Pop bands like Eric’s Trip to reality. It’s an album to wrap you up when you’re homesick, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring it to you.
