More Brooklynites in the SNAP column today, reiterating its present position as the hometown du jour for indie talent with the addition of Bear Hands, who we're admittedly featuring somewhat behind the times after recent press in a certain weekly rag. A heavily percussive, rhythm-based outfit, the four piece are in the UK supporting The Hollaways from 25 Oct, playing songs from their 'Golden EP', including the title track, which is led by a tantalising, hip-swinging guitar lick that Mark Knopfler would be proud of. And while you're at their MySpace, be sure to also check out the cymbal hissing 'Long Lean Queen', an equally promising offering.
