Words For Hands Delivers Rockin’ New Singles

By Jaci Jedrych

If you’re looking for straight rock tracks to jam to this summer, check out the latest singles from Baltimore, Md.-based indie band Words For Hands, “Sugar” and “Chain Reaction,” and the accompanying music video. The high-energy rock duo released their debut album “NOISE” a year prior, and now they are delivering an equally enjoyable sequel.

“Sugar” and “Chain Reaction,” as well as the music video for “Sugar,” are the first works that they have fully recorded, produced, and filmed all on their own.

The bright, upbeat rock backing paired with the solid but light vocals is reminiscent of artists like Matthew Sweet and The Decemberists while maintaining a unique sound. Words For Hands delivers a much more powerful sound than is expected from a duo, and their music video exemplifies the heartfelt meaning of the lyrics it accompanies.

See the music video for “Sugar” below.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
