Your Best Friend:

Dear Internet,

There are few things that we hate more than talking our band up. For example; Fig Newtons and the word 'shrubbery'. Nonetheless, until we are cool enough to have people talk our band up for us, this will have to do.

We are cool and/or not cool for the following reasons:

- We have gone on 11 self-booked U.S. tours.
- We have been named as one of the top unsigned acts by Alternative Press Magazine.
- We have played Warped Tour.
- We have played over 500 shows.
- We have toured with Chiodos, The Classic Crime, and more.
- We have earned endorsements from Orange Amplification, SJC Drums, Gibson, and more.
- We have sold over 3,000 records all by our lonesome.
- We have played in 35 states.
- We have gone through 3 vans and 2 trailers.

On paper we sound pretty cool. We aren't a bunch of Braggy McBraggies, though. You can call us Brad Pitt but please don't call us late for dinner.

The truth is that we work relentlessly for everything we have. We are extremely thankful for what we have. And we have a strong desire and passion for more. We can't wait for more.

We are currently writing a new record and we can't wait for you to hear it. See you on the road.
Love,

Your Best Friend

☆ Opening act(s): Surgeons in Heat, Your Best Friend

Dan Werb and Paul Banwatt, alongside producer Roger Leavens, are Woodhands -- a synth and drums duo intent on injecting the world of electro-pop with a dose of emotional intensity and a generous portion of glam rock swagger.

Known for their vivid live performances, free from the calculable presence of pre-recorded samples, laptops or other safety nets so aptly found in so many of their contemporaries, Woodhands compiles original dance tracks that rise forth from the pain of their own blood, sweat and tears. This innovative two-piece rely on monstrous drum patterns, speedy keytar licks, and punk rock lyricism guaranteed to overheat any room with a threshold of sound and complexity.  Since the 2008 release of their debut album Heart Attack, Woodhands has received impressive accolades for both their recorded work and their relentless live performance, appearing on several ‘Best Of' lists including a recent anointment as one of the '10 Best New Bands On Earth' by British tastemaker Q Magazine following their coverage of SXSW 2009.

After spending the past year and a half touring Canada, the United States, China, and Japan in support of Heart Attack, and delivering a slew of remixes and cover songs that have kept the party going strong, Woodhands is back with a stimulating plethora of darker, energetic dance tracks. The forthcoming sophomore offering from Woodhands, Remorsecapade, dives deeper into the emotional territory of Heart Attack, painting strangely compelling portraits of lost souls inhabiting the late night abyss of dance clubs ("I Should Have Gone With My Friends"), sweaty hand-holding ("Pockets"), and - of course - heartbreak, here described as ‘doubling'. The songs of Remorsecapade run from the deceptive bubble gum pop arrangement of "Dissembler" to the explosive punk rock/electro hybrid of "Coolchazine," and throughout, Woodhands offers listeners a rich journey throughout the scorched landscape of what their sweaty brand of electronic has now become: Risky, emotionally resonant, and dangerously addictive.
