Griffen Handshake is a secret handshake. But it's also an alt-punk band who are newcomers to the Chicago music scene. Drawing influence from Green Day, Nirvana, and Twenty One Pilots, their gritty sound is complimented by melodious undertones. 

Their latest EP, "Three Strikes and You're Out" is their most ambitious work to date. It features "Wings", an introspective track about feeling like you're growing as an artist and person but simultaneously feeling invisible to the world. It includes the band's previous 2024 singles, "Kicking Rocks" and the dance-infused, "Morgan". The EP is rounded out by the cold yet soothing, "Unclear" and the chaotic title track itself.

Originally from Pittsburgh, GH has played countless shows across the Mid-Atlantic region. Their former major releases include their highly energetic EP, "IN YOUR FACE" in 2022 and their debut, experimental album, "My Box" in April 2021.
