Los Angeles, California’s THE HANKS define the landscape of an indie-rock music scene. Fueled by a stylistically eclectic hybrid of alt-rock-meets-pop- punk, the four-piece have propelled their intimate and honest style onto the forefront of today’s national stage with driving energy, a dedicated work ethic, and raw musical talent.  The band’s sophomore effort, Distance, follows the success of their debut album and captures the latest progression of The Hanks’ signature striking mood, grooving meter, and soaring melody. The album’s eleven tracks explore an articulate layering of the band’s broad dynamics---from bouncy rhythmic pulses and scratchy riffs to bold, vocal- soaked harmonies and captivating intensity.
