Lead Hands

Decoder was an American post-hardcore, formed in 2010 in Florida and brought together by former members that made-up the bands VersaEmerge, Oceana, and Of Machines. Decoder were signed to Rise Records and released one album. The group casually performed a mellow and slow tempoed post-rock and ambient-influenced sound coupled with screamed vocals and heavy percussion, giving the group a sound unlike most other in their genre. On March 1, 2012, the band changed their name from Decoder to Lead Hands, settling a lawsuit of the group's original name due to a band from New Jersey of the same name. However, short months after the name change to Lead Hands, the band disbanded.
