Heart in Hand were an English band from Bournemouth and Southampton,[1] formed in 2008. Their musical style was a melodic blend of hardcore punk with heavy metal influences,[2] described as both melodic hardcore[2][3][4] and metalcore[5][6] by reviewers. Their first release was the Heart in Hand EP in 2009, followed by 3 studio albums. The band's final lineup consisted of vocalist Charlie Holmes, guitarists Ed Hartwell and Ollie Wilson, bassist Gavin Thane and drummer Sam Brennan.

Heart in Hand had released 5 music videos with a combined view count of nearly 3 million before 2014.[2] They supported the 2013 release of their second studio album, Almost There by touring with bands such as Bury Tomorrow, Deez Nuts, Miss May I, Stray from the Path and Texas in July. They had also appeared at numerous British festivals, including Download, Slam Dunk, 2000 Trees, Ghostfest and Redfest, as well as on the main stages of other European festivals such as Rock for People in the Czech Republic or Resurrection Fest in Spain, and as headliners at a number of smaller ones.[2] They disbanded in February 2015.[7]
