Open Hand is an American rock band, first formed in Hollywood, California in 1997.
History
Open Hand was formed in Hollywood, California in 1997 by guitarist/vocalist Justin Isham. With bassist Michael Anastasi and drummer Alex Rodriguez, they released two EPs on Justin's own label, American Propaganda: Radio Days in 1998 and Evolutions in 1999.
After touring, the band signed with Trustkill Records in 1999. In 2000, Trustkill issued The Dream, a collection of the band's two EPs and bonus unreleased material. They went on to release the album "You and Me" in 2005 on Trustkill / Roadrunner Records. The band went on to tour extensively all over the world from 2005 to 2009. Open Hand released their next album, Honey, on Anodyne Records in 2010.
On April 20, 2020, the band released a remixed, remastered, and re-sequenced version of Honey for its 10th anniversary.
The album "Weirdo" was released on March 5, 2021.
