Luggage - Hand is Bad

Chicago’s Luggage carve out a sound that’s equal parts heavy, hypnotic, and human — a collision of noise rock tension and post-punk minimalism. The trio’s music thrives in the space between repetition and release, where every riff feels deliberate and every silence, loaded. They build walls of sound not to overwhelm, but to draw you in — raw, direct, and impossible to ignore.

Their album Hand is Bad distills that energy into its purest form — stark, driving, and brutally honest. Recorded with an unflinching ear for tone and texture, it’s a record that rewards deep listening and loud playback. Each track hits like a slow-moving freight train, dense with atmosphere and intent. For fans of guitars that growl and rhythm sections that don’t quit, Hand is Bad is essential.
