Review:
Empty Handed are a melodic hardcore/punk band from Germany.
The new Ep "Perspectives" by Empty Handed is a big step foreward to their older released Eps.
The sound is a lot better and cleaner, yet the old sound was pretty rad too.
The songs on this release show a lot atmosphere and the lyrics carry the listener into their deepest mind (yet it happened with me). Midtempo riffs and midtempo drums crown this album to one of my favorite releases this year and in the genre.
Definitely check these guys out, if you are a fan of bands, such as White Fields, The Cold Harbour, Foxxes, etc...
I really recommend the song "Farewell". The lyrics actully fit in many situations i have and had in my life. Just listen to the ep stream, posted above, this is a must have ep, at least have-have-listened to!
 I really can't say that much, because this ep ist just awesome! 

Support these guys, and check them out!
