Though there is a large lack of belief in a higher power or faith, the EP makes a very successful effort to highlight the inner turmoil of the human psyche.
It’s something interesting to follow a band from their initial demos to being one of the biggest bands in the scene and only generating a bigger and bigger fan base.
In the case of “Snow Sessions,” Hands Like Houses is made up for every artist who ever took advantage of the onlooker, breathing life and meaning into every note, chord, frame and melody composed for the four-track experience that is this EP.
It may be bad, but it still gained notoriety and was an honest attempt for the band to springboard into their sophomore effort with a more finely tuned approach, but that’s for another day.
"Man Overboard" was a pivotal sophomore album that displayed a growth in technique and musicianship for the band that resulted in an outstanding album.
Transit’s farewell was a testament to pop punk’s modern DIY culture, noting that as long as the band remained true to who they are, they did not need to sacrifice their art in an attempt to “make it.”
Hands Like Houses use melody, aggression and sensual emotion to build a musical world that ensnares the listener and holds their attention for the full album.
