Background notes
Archive material and source history
Handshakes and Highfives formed in New York City with Ethan James on vocals, Jake Parsons on guitar, Maya Khan on bass, and Owen Carter on drums. They put out a debut record called 'Echoes of the Underground' that had a raw, rebellious feel to it.
In 2015, the song 'A Lion To The Universe' got some real attention. It's one of those tracks that shows up on their setlists and in their catalog alongside others like 'Maybe next time' and 'Reflections (Acoustic).' They followed it with albums titled 'The Lion's Roar' and 'Unleashing the Fury.'
James had a reputation for being outspoken, and the band's stage presence wasn't for everyone. That drew some criticism, but it didn't seem to shake their core listeners. The music kept coming, and they kept exploring different sounds without losing that initial energy.
