The blessed event and conception of Idle Hands took place in the early weeks of December 1998 in the back-seat of a Saturn at the local Claremont, California Denny's. Three members from the hardcore punk band Suburban Empire and ex-singer from the early leagues of Emo-core band COPPER, thought that a new direction and sound was well needed in their music careers. A clean and fun mix between West Coast hardcore-punk with East Coast melodic-driving vocals, gave birth to a fast and fresh new sound and energy.
Lyrics:
So long we've had a real rough ride
Can't seem to take a side
We've got so much to show
We only want a chance to play
Don't want to fade away
But who do we know?
We don't want to stay inside
We want to stand in the spotlight
Can't say that we've given up
We haven't had enough
No one's taking us down
I can't believe this selfish town
No one's taking us down
Cause we've worked for it
And it's our turn now
We sing the songs to free our stories
We play the songs to hail the glory
NO ONE'S TAKING US DOWN!
IT'S OUR TURN NOW!
