Hands was an American progressive rock band from Texas who existed from 1977-1980 and became known through a couple of archival releases of their recordings several decades later.
Due to the overwhelming positive response that these archival releases received, the main members of the band reformed and have put out several albums since. Because the members actually are from the heyday of progressive rock, you can hear classic-era influences in their over-all sound such as Happy The Man, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Kansas, etc... but these are their roots and they definitely make original progressive rock music.
