Thee Iron Hand: New Band with Members of Iron Man & The Hidden Hand to Debut this Summer

Let’s face it: It’s hard to speculate what a band might become based on their lineup and a minute-long snippet of a rehearsal room recording. They haven’t even played a live show, so I’m not going to try to guess at the range of what Thee Iron Hand might shoot for as they set to writing songs with an intent toward making a stage debut this summer ahead, presumably — or perhaps coinciding with — a first studio venture.

That said, I do think it’s fair to be excited at the prospect of what a new band with members of Iron Man, Ironboss and The Hidden Hand might be able to accomplish together, and so as one sees Bruce Falkinburg (ex-The Hidden Hand, ex-The Obsessed) teaming up with Ironboss guitarist Matt Crocco and drummer Patrick Kennedy and the three-piece bringing Iron Man frontman Dee Calhoun on board to be the voice of the band, yeah, that’s some fodder for speculation right there. All the more so with that minute of rehearsal jam to go on, which you can hear below in a piece of a song called “Lungful of Blood.”

I guess the upshot here is there’s much more to come, so stay tuned. I’d be a little bit surprised if these guys didn’t wind up on the bill one way or another for Maryland Doom Fest next month, provided they’re ready even to do a short set, but beyond that, I’ll post more when I have more. In the meantime, I chased down Calhoun for some more info on how Thee Iron Hand came together and you can see what he had to say under the lineup info, which follows here:

Thee Iron Hand – Lungful of Blood

Members/former members of legendary acts The Obsessed, Iron Man, Ironboss, and The Hidden Hand have joined to form Thee Iron Hand. The lineup is:

Screaming Mad Dee (Iron Man) – voice
Matt Crocco (Lifetime Shitlist, Ironboss) – guitar
Bruce Falkinburg (The Obsessed, The Hidden Hand) – bass
Patrick Kennedy (Ironboss) – drums

Dee Calhoun on Thee Iron Hand:

“Matt was putting feelers out for a singer for this project that he, Bruce, and Patrick had going on. He approached me regarding it, and once it became clear that Iron Man was going to be out of commission for a while, I jumped at it. They pretty much already had songs written and arranged, all I needed to do was write lyrics and melodies. The styles are meshing very, very well. The vibe is a little different that a lot of what I’ve done before, but I welcome that and think people are really going to dig it.”

The quartet will be hitting the live stage beginning in Summer 2017.
