Frank Iero talking about his own name

Blood Infections- Frank Iero and the Cellabration

LYRICS*

I ran away from a real name
and now i paint on a newer face
to face the world from a better place
i will run till my legs stop itchin'

running to the other town
where heads are upside down
living in the other town
i never wanna come down

I ran away from a world of pain
to face the world where we're not the same
where people dance in the acid rain
i will sing in the blue bird singin'

we're living in the other town
where heads are upside down
living in the other town
i never wanna come down

They sell you pills 
to make you feel good feel good
but feeling good alone is often really hard
you need to turn your problems into inspiration
buy a ticket run to other town 

living in the other town
where heads are upside down
living in the other town
i never wanna come down

living in the other town
where heads are upside down
living in the other town
i never wanna come down..

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
