Rivalry Records signs Red Handed

San Francisco area hardcore/punk outfit Red Handed has officially joined the Rivalry Records roster. Here's the marketing pitch from Rivalry: "Fast, pissed, punk... Reminiscent of the early 1980's California punk scene mixed with a healthy dose of Poison Idea, this is an unexpected punch in the face. What's remarkable is that it's being provided by an unknown group of high school kids from the San Francisco Bay Area. If you're looking for modern comparisons, think Shark Attack, Outbreak, and Lights Out." The group's debut 7" will be available on March 20th. An additional 7" will be available later this year followed by a CD featuring both 7"s along with some bonus tracks. For now you can listen to the band here.
