An Australian quintet that falls under the “post-hardcore” umbrella, albeit not in exact stylistic aspects. Absolutepunk conducted an interview with the band in 2012 about their uniqueness to their side of the music world, and frontman Trenton Woodley had the following to say about interesting topics such as the meaning behind their band name:
Initially it came from a reference to a movie “The Science Of Sleep” by Michael Gondry. Great film, highly recommend it. The protagonist in the movie had a dream about having giant hands, and discusses it with his mother as ‘big as towers’, ‘not towers, houses’. I guess as far as meaning goes, it’s grown along with us over the last couple of years, it’s taken on somewhat of a ‘safe hands’ idea for me, keeping hold of the people/things you care most about. It’s not meant to be any big statement or idea, just something that we felt gelled with the direction we were trying to take."
