Maryland’s unflinching alt-metal catalysts, Savage Hands, stare down the end of everything their latest single, “One Last Kiss“, out now via Oxide Music. Clinging to connection even as the world burns, “One Last Kiss” transforms an apocalypse into a final, bright romance that finds meaning in the moment right before goodbye. Fans can listen to “One Last Kiss” HERE.
Fresh off the momentum of “It’s Me” being featured on SiriusXM Octane and “Bruise” mapping out the complicated comfort of scars, Savage Hands turns to solace in surrender, choosing love as the last word before the end. Less about the fall of everything and more about the one person you’d choose to fall with, “One Last Kiss” opens tenderly and swells into an anthem, where the two halves never feel at odds with one another.
Explaining the idea that even the end of the world deserves a love song like “One Last Kiss“, vocalist Mike Garrow shares:
“One Last Kiss is finding your special someone and traversing through all aspects of life. The world at often times can be bleak, so when you have someone breaking down the doors with you, it can seem a little more pleasant.”
Guided early on by multi-platinum producers Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Sleeping With Sirens, etc) and Lee Rouse (The Funeral Portrait, Teddy Swims, etc), Savage Hands have sharpened their craft into a volatile blend of ominous atmosphere, sledgehammer riffs, and skyscraping choruses. A hybrid sound that dissolves the lines between post-hardcore, metalcore, and alternative rock, all while hitting with precision and purpose.
Propelled by the success of previous singles, “Demon“, “Washed Away“, and “Halo“, the quintet have been in constant forward motion since their 2018 debut, amassing over 55 million streams along the way. From steely Maryland roots to festival stages, Savage Hands‘ relentless drive has shaped a previous that thrives on the collision of chaos and catharsis bleeding into one another. With their latest releases, “It’s Me“, “Feel Me“, “POWER“, “Trust Issues“, “Reload Repeat“, and “Trace Erase“, Savage Hands are opening the door to a new chapter, one that’s heavier, sharper and more unapologetic than anything that’s come before.
ABOUT SAVAGE HANDS
After their breakout tracks “Demon”, “Washed Away”, and “Love No More”; Savage Hands cemented themselves as leaders in a new, modern rock sound. The band’s ability to balance heavy instrumentation with memorable hooks and raw vocal delivery catapulted their 2020 album “The Truth In Your Eyes” beyond 45 million streams, underscoring the band’s growing global reach. Beyond streaming, Savage Hands dropped two limited vinyl variants which immediately sold out due to large demand.
Like many artists, the global pandemic foiled and unwound plans that were years in the making for Savage Hands. Despite this, the band remained active in touring, supporting acts like Magnolia Park, Wage War, and While She Sleeps; as well as co-headlining with fellow up-and-comers Archers. Savage Hands made their debut DWP festival appearance at Louder Than Life in 2025, marking the Bourbon stage’s largest crowd of the day.
Savage Hands parted ways with Sharptone Records in 2025 and promptly began working on assembling a new album. Joining forces with Oxide Records, the band is preparing to launch a non-stop wave of campaigns starting May 2026.
“We are excited to finally close the chapter on all of the uncertainty the pandemic forced into our career. This album has been a long time coming, and we are so extremely grateful for Wetzel and Anthony at Oxide Records for believing in us and pushing us to become the band we were always meant to be.” – Mike Garrow
