History
Formation (2008–2011)
Formed in 2008 from the remnants of other local bands, So Long Safety and Eternal Debut, the band traveled to Chango Studios to record material for a self-titled EP with producer Cameron Mizell. However, the EP never was released and the band decided to re-record some of the tracks and record six new tracks for a full-length album. In 2011, the band released singles for "This Ain't No Place for Animals" and "Lion Skin" (which features a few differences from the one included in their full-length) on iTunes, garnering over 5,000 single sales. They also released a demo version of "One Hundred" in their PureVolume profile.Ground Dweller and Snow Sessions EP (2012–2013)
In January 2012 the band signed with Rise Records[1] and released Ground Dweller, in March,[3] streaming the entire album on the Alternative Press website.[4] Ground Dweller debuted at No. 141 on the Billboard Top 200 and number 2 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart.[2] and has been generally well received.On 2 May 2012, Hands Like Houses embarked on their first ever tour of the US on Rise Records' The Freshman Class of '12 Tour, supporting The Air I Breathe, Palisades and My Ticket Home.[5] In April 2012 released a video EP named Snow Sessions with acoustic performances of some songs from Ground Dweller. They toured in the United States with We Came as Romans and Attack Attack!, and in the fall of 2012 with Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens on the Collide with the Sky Tour.
