post metal

With the mission to simply amaze people with the minimalistic set up of voice, guitar, bass and drums, PigsAsPeople are a force of nature that can only be conjured up by 3 words; agressive, abrasive and beautiful. Drawing influence from every area of the punk rock spectrum such as crushing textures of Russian Circles to the blistering pace of Converge and finally back to the punk roots of bands such as Fugazi and Black Flag, PigsAsPeople are a band to be listened to by any with a keen ear for loud and fast paced music.

Originally formed as a two piece recording project in late 2002, Stitchthread became a live band in mid-2004 and recorded/gigged with several lineups until late 2008 before going on hiatus. The band reconvened in early 2010 and returned to gigging on July 30th. A retrospective six years gigging anniversary EP "We're Already Here" will be released later this year, with new recordings to follow. The present lineup consists of Mark Moreton (guitar/vocals), Andrew Hellebrand (guitar), Ian Cylkowski (drums) and Jim Thomas (bass/vocals).

There is more than one band with the name Hands: [1] Shane Ochsner, Josh Silbernagel, Chris Schwartz and Jerik Hendrickson are collectively Hands, a band that combines circling atmospheric guitars punctuated with hard hitting progressions. They are a band in which rock and roll meets ambient hardcore and warm silvery singing rivals hardcore screams. The warmth of their songs is in strong contrast to the raw biting North Dakota weather that surrounds them.
