Chalk Hands

Grilled Clams are proud to bring Brighton Screamo band Chalk Hands to London for a headline show at New River Studios with support from Still in Love and Death of Youth.

Chalk Hands are a 4-piece hailing from Brighton, UK that produce a dynamic blend of Post-Rock
and Screamo with a hint of Math-Rock. Their debut full length, “Don’t Think About Death” (released via Dog Knights Productions) exudes chaos and calm in equal measures. Pairing a rhythm section that pounds and pulses in unison throughout, with guitar parts that move among each other with graceful contrast, Chalk Hands have created a musical landscape for their emotive lyrics to soar above with vital intensity. This intense and ferocious sound has seen the band take on support slots for bands such as Touché Amore, Frail Body, Joliette, Respire, and Fall of Messiah.

Still In Love
Still In Love are a hardcore band based in London, formed in 2023 featuring members of Brutality Will Prevail, Dead Swans, Last Witness, Bring Me The Horizon and Throats. They released their newest EP Withdrawal Symptoms Pt. 2 in June 2024.

Death of Youth
In spite of having a short lifespan and not playing a show in that time, Death of Youth released two successful EP's full of melancholic hardcore with a mix of personal, social, and political lyrics. Their 2020 EP Suburban Dystopia ended up getting a limited release on vinyl through a co release Scarborough based DIY Label Disillusioned Records and Kent based label Engineer Records, the latter of which released a CD compilation of both Death of Youth  EP's titled Some Demons Never Die. These releases awarded the band coverage from various outlets with ThoughtsWordsAction saying "Every instrument appears as a wrecking layer that will shake your bones, just in the way the modern hardcore should sound nowadays" and some tracks getting airplay on Andrew Morrison's online radio show on Dandelion Radio. Now Death of Youth are aiming to head to the stage in order to fulfil the one thing they never got to do the first time around and take their music to a live audience.
