History
Open Hand was formed in Hollywood, California in 1997 by guitarist/vocalist Justin Isham. With bassist Michael Anastasi and drummer Alex Rodriguez, they released two EPs on Justin's own label, American Propaganda: Radio Days in 1998 and Evolutions in 1999.
After touring, the band signed with Trustkill Records in 1999. In 2000, Trustkill issued The Dream, a collection of the band's two EPs and bonus unreleased material. They went on to release the album "You and Me" in 2005 on Trustkill / Roadrunner Records. The band went on to tour extensively all over the world from 2005 to 2009.
