Coming out of just about every corner of South Carolina is a Deathcore band with the drive to make music and spread it as far as it will take them. From Idle Hands is a metal band to be taken seriously. Trying to stray away from the usual South Carolina Hardcore and Metal, From Idle Hands is something a little different for the S.C. metal scene. Actively trying to tour and play as many shows as possible. From Idle Hands will not stop, so look for them in a city near you. The Current Lineup is Korey Smith on Vocals, Payne Gregory on Drums, Chris Chandler on Guitar, Ellis Tolbert on Guitar, and Lewis McKenzie on Bass. Check back for more updates and show listings.
Why this name?
Sitting around in 11th grade math class...just out of random thought.
Do you play live?
Yes, we've played around the southeast, but we are looking to expand this coming summer.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It can help to branch out music to those who cannot come to your shows or those who do not live in the same country. It has became a tool for bands, labels, and fans to come together and interact without having to be in person.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, we sure would.
