Season 3 - Ep. 9 - Handheld's Road to Punk Perfection and The History Behind Their New Album A Canadian Tragedy

Author: Powered By Rock September 12, 2022 Duration: 50:59

I am going to be speaking with the Canadian punk band Handheld today!

These dudes took a 14-year break after lead singer, Andy, left the band, only to return a few years ago and this year they put out one of the best punk albums of 2022 with their new LP A Canadian Tragedy.

The album is filled with some very interesting stories about mostly historical Canadian figures which will be a topic of conversation today as punk rock isn’t necessarily synonymous with history lessons.

We’ll be speaking with the guys about their incredible new album and more right after this!
