Hands Off Gretel are a 4-piece alternative rock band, formed late 2014 in South Yorkshire, UK.

The band emerged from a music venture and friendship between singer/songwriter Lauren Tate and guitarist Sean McAvinue. Following a tumble down the stairs at rehearsal and a few broken bones (literally!) the pair started a new band together, with Lauren moving onto rhythm guitar the pair wrote songs inspired by their joint love of 90’s bands. Joined by Danny Pollard on bass and Laura Moakes on drums, the four came together for the first time in October 2014 to breathe life into a collection of songs written by Lauren. Harnessing a raw, dynamic energy and channelling it through songs that really get stuck in your head, H.O.G. is a band you have to see.  

The band’s front woman, Lauren, takes her inspiration from “ballsy women” fronting punk/grunge bands.
“I am always searching for female singers with integrity and attitude who don’t rely on over-sexualised imagery to sell their music, but they are hard to find. So I set about creating music that I wanted to listen to and couldn’t find, unless I looked back 25 years! I’m sure there are others who also want to hear this music.”

It’s a daring leap into a 90’s alternative sound that sees Lauren following her true musical ambitions, resisting the easier routes to success that have been offered. With YouTube views now approaching 2M and a social profile of over 20k followers, her incredible vocals are evident for all to see & hear. Hands Off Gretel has a solid platform to get their new music out.

The band launches in February 2015 with 3 free download tracks, a new video and a series of live dates, which will be built upon in the coming months. The band’s first gig will be Sat 7th March at the Barnsley Rock & Blues Club. Keep up to date with the band and sign up to the online newsletter here… www.handsoffgretel.co.uk
