Handheld Celebrate Their 25th Anniversary With “Live At 25” Album

In a landmark celebration of their 25th anniversary, Ontario Canada’s Handheld, the dynamic, fast, melodic punk band that might have escaped your radar, have released Live At 25 via Thousand Islands Records, Lockjaw Records and Pink Lemonade Records. Captured in a packed out small sold out club, the album is a journey through their discography that celebrates their quarter-century. Handheld‘s performance showcases their passion and evolution, delivering an unforgettable experience for fans and new listeners alike.

“Sure, it’s been an incredible 25 years of Handheld, playing fast, melodic punk rock (some even call it skatepunk). Surprisingly, half of the band members don’t seem to have aged a day since they first formed in 1998. As for the other half? Well, let’s just say they’re living the good life. From 1998 to 2008, Handheld tore up stages all across North America. Then, they took a 14-year hiatus, only to return with their most powerful album to date, “A Canadian Tragedy.” The boys are back to their old tricks again, this time recording a high-production, top-notch full-length live record during a sold-out, intimate club show for all of us to enjoy. Now that they’re back, there’s no stopping them at this point; they might as well play until they’re dead. Expect more new records and more shows on the horizon. Keep it fast, play power chords with your pinky, and unleash forbidden beats with a single kick pedal. Love, HH”
