Chalk Hands is a post hardcore band from Brighton, UK. Fail, Grasp, Restore is the first single and music video from their upcoming debut album Don't Think About Death. The new full length will be out in 2022 from Dog Knights Productions, and it was recorded by Lewis Johns at the Ranch Production House (Rolo Tomassi, Employed To Serve, Cassus).
Very emotive and affecting, Chalk Hands put forward an intricate sound based on hardcore, punk and post metal components, all well refined to produce something genuine and originative.
Chalk Hands comment on their new track: "Fail, Grasp, Restore is a song about forever questioning yourself, assessing where you're at, and imagining how your current actions could paint your future.
It's hard to have pure confidence in the choices you make. There may be days in which you feel sure of yourself, but then there are always going to be days where you can't help but battle with doubt. The song, in short, asks if you feel you have made the most out of your time, with the one body you are given. You learn to live with the scars made from bad choices and you carry your achievements everywhere you go. You take all of this forward and it will inevitably take part in who you will become, so who will you become?
Ultimately Fail, Grasp, Restore is a song about acceptance, the desire to be at peace with who you are and about learning to deal with your past in the healthiest way you can, allowing it to improve your future."
