"In Tate, they’ve got a voice and presence with a unique combination of snarl and sweetness. “a beautifully brutal album an early contender for my album of the year” Original Rock Brimming with clever arrangements and nifty musical tricks, Hands Off Gretel make a lasting impression.” - Kerrang! “This is music that hits it cues with well chosen melodies and sky size choruses. With Classic Rock putting this at No.15 in the Top 50 rock albums of 2019 ‘so far’ and Kerrang! Magazine giving it a solid 4/5 Ks.
The band have received critical acclaim on their self released album “I Want The World’ (2019). They have also played the BBC Introducing stages at Tramlines and Humber Street Sesh. Over the last few years they have gigged relentlessly and swelled their UK and international fan base, resulting in a largely sold out UK album tour, busy European dates and appearances at major festivals including, Isle of Wight, Camden Rocks Festival, Y Not and Kendal Calling. Hands Off Gretel have created the perfect soundtrack of sugar-coated grunge-punk to vent and rail against the issues of body image, mental health, celebrity, childhood and loneliness all of which were addressed from a fiercely female, unapologetic, feminist perspective. Tickets available from Off Gretel are a sassy alt rock/grunge pop band from South Yorkshire, who have built themselves a solid live reputation, for high energy shows that are musically dynamic and visually compelling. There are some new venues on the tour as well, which we’re really looking forward to.”

The crowds have definitely grown and it’s nice to see the hard work finally paying off playing to a full room is what any band works towards. Our tour in 2019 was fantastic we had so many sold-out gigs and we’re hoping we can do the same in 2020. Speaking about the tour, singer Lauren said: “We are looking forward so much to getting back out on tour and kicking off in Ireland, which will be our first time playing there. The release coincides with the band’s huge headline DON’T TOUCH tour in early 2020. The three tracks – SHE THINKS SHE’S PUNK ROCK N ROLL, DON’T TOUCH and BIGGER THAN ME – are all live favourites that fans have repeatedly asked the band to release, and were recorded with Jim Pinder at Tree House Studio in Chesterfield.

The previously announced ANGRY EP will be available on CD, limited edition 10” white vinyl and all major download and streaming platforms.
Following an incredibly busy and successful 2019 which included the release of their highly acclaimed second album, I WANT THE WORLD, a largely sold out 38 date UK and EU tour, and appearances at major festivals including Isle of Wight, Kendal Calling and Y Not, the DON’T TOUCH tour in February, March, April and May is their biggest yet. HANDS OFF GRETEL revive the white-hot rage of riot grrrl and grunge mixed with bubblegum pop. I wrote the song about animals, and although this can be related to all forms of exploitation, I wanted the video to be a bold statement: ‘Not your mother, not your milk’.” - LAUREN TATE | HANDS OFF GRETEL The industry is full of vile practices and seeing that in human form will hopefully help people make the connection. The imagery in the video portrays animal testing and shows myself and Becky covered with meat cuts. I’d say it’s one of the heaviest songs we play live and a personal favourite because it means so much and the lyrics deeply resonate with me. “Milk is a song I wrote about animal exploitation, which is something I’m so passionate about raising awareness of. In anticipation of their recently announced headline tour for Spring 2020 and THE ANGRY EP, to be released on their own Puke Pop Records on 6 March, HANDS OFF GRETEL have revealed a new video single for MILK, from their 2019 album I WANT THE WORLD.
