One Hand Free is everything you want and expect from a real rock band. The genuine article, One Hand Free blend showmanship and sincerity to conjure notions of both the gutter and the grandiose. To say that One Hand Free plays rock and roll is to oversimplify. They are Rock and Roll. They sweat it, pump it, strut it, beg it, believe it and preach it. When they lay hands on their instruments, they manifest all the glory and grime inherent in the magic of hand rolled original rock and roll.

New tunes, new sounds, new textures. Like being lashed with a suede glove full of tapioca. Recording as we speak.

Sweetbreads, the new five song EP from One Hand Free is now available!

The first review is in:
"The tunes are heavy, loud and filthy. Not filthy bad — filthy good. The sort of inspiring guttural call and response rock that gets fists in the air, and cup-checks in queue. One Hand Free hit hard. And to say they're at the top of their game is a question that remains tastefully unanswerable. They're a machine that keeps on chugging along, churning out riff after riff, continually offering up tunes that only seem to burn brighter with each ensuing listen."
- Christopher Hislop, Spotlight Magazine/Portsmouth Herald

"Though only a five track EP, “Sweetbreads” comes in at a healthy 31 minutes, as the band stretch out and properly explore their songs. Opener “Sly” rolls out its goodness over five minutes and could be the beefy cousin of one of Terry Reid’s masterpieces from the “River” album. It’s followed by “Dead Reckoning” which is gentler but no less charismatic – what a great start, and it gets better. “Like A Stone” is built around a chubby riff, hewn from classic ‘70s rock, before the record’s centerpiece hits home. “Mangrove” is the longest cut here, recorded live, it’s a slow burn blues-rocker with Josh DiJoseph’s guitar sparring with Blowen’s vocal and keys to notable effect. The fifth and final track “Slipstream” might just be the pick of the bunch. Again, it was recorded live and the band is on fire. Mostly instrumental, the interplay between the lead instruments and the structured intensity of the three-piece rhythm section is just wonderful. I’d love to see them do it on a big stage."

"This Portsmouth-based power quartet pays homage to its classic rock forbearers with its own original brand of hard rock. They play music for the glorious joy of it, and that enjoyment radiates from their latest five-song EP, brimming with blues, southern, psychedelic and progressive rock."
- The Wire
