From time to time even the trvest, hardest and most brutal metal head needs a portion of melody or harmony - and that's where IDLE HANDS come in handy with their EP Don´t Waste Your Time. The five compositions spread a damn good mood, shine with loose-flocked hooks and choruses. Elegant guitar leads characterize the songs and sometimes the musicians gallop along at a carried tempo, letting the reins run down; classical structures and hymnic melodies provide entertaining amusement. Clear-as-a-bell-vocals present catchy text passages and IDLE HANDS also make a good figure with balladesque tunes like the relaxed Can You Hear The Rain, because it is easy-cheesy, but not embarrassingly kitschy.
All pieces captivate with their loose, flaky, relaxed approach, which doesn't pose a special challenge in terms of concentration - and that's exactly what IDLE HANDS stand for, namely harmonic music with a wonderful feeling for pleasant melody and beautiful refrains, which are taken straight to the heart because of their basic non-excitement.
