EMPTY VOID The screams through the seams   Of children bleed my brain   The re-collection of past aggression  Pain brings me to tears As the world slips into an empty void (talking) The pain inside  She screams through the universe unbound Empty void  She screams Unbound, Empty void Through the universe Empty void She screams Unbound Empty void Through the universe Sometimes I don’t feel that I fit in at all   No family, no true home I am here, all alone As the world slips into an empty void (talking) The pain inside  She screams through the universe unbound Empty void  She screams Unbound, Empty void Through the universe Empty void She screams Unbound Empty void Through the universe Sometimes I don’t feel that I fit in at all   No family, no true home I am here all alone all alone all alone Guitar Solo She screams through the universe As the world slips into an empty void (talking) The pain inside  She screams through the universe unbound Empty void  She screams Unbound, Empty void Through the universe Empty void She screams Unbound Empty void Through the universe Empty void She screams Unbound Empty void Through the universe Empty void She screams Unbound Empty void Through the universe.

STEP INTO THE RING Go in with everything that you know   Go in with everything that you know   Certainly taking another blow   I'm picking myself off of the floor I bob and i weave staying light on my feet   Building my strength i don't want to be beat Hey  Go in with everything that you know   Go in with everything that you know.   (CHORUS)  There's a fighter in me i'm here to destroy my rivalries In a violent burst i'll see all that my opponent is worth. Step into the ring there’s a fire inside Step into the ring Keeps me going on Step into the ring there’s a fire inside Step into the ring Keeps me going on Go in with everything that you know  Go in with everything that you know   Moving myself on with the flow Life is a game it’s all a show I bob and i weave staying light on my feet   Building my strength i don't want to be beat Hey  Go in with everything that you know   Go in with everything that you know.    There's fighter in me i'm here to destroy my rivalries In a violent burst i'll see all that my opponent is worth. Step into the ring there’s a fire inside Step into the ring Keeps me going on Step into the ring there’s a fire inside Step into the ring Keeps me going on SOLO   I'm standing in the ring  i'm built to take the heat You know that i will bring it I don't want to taste defeat Going toe to toe  There can be no other way Doing what it takes  To be victorious today Step into the ring there’s a fire inside Step into the ring Keeps me going on Step into the ring there’s a fire inside Step into the ring Keeps me going on Step into the ring there’s a fire inside Step into the ring Keeps me going on Step into the ring there’s a fire inside Step into the ring Keeps me going on Underhander “Step into the ring” Lyrics: Williams
3.	Stone Burner 04:05	lyrics	buy track
Stop to turn watch it burn Ignite the fire in me Simple lesson never learned Leads to tragedy I feel high when I light the sky The fire and I connect just like before I done my chore I stand proud and erect Then they bring the water By both land and air Accompanied by sirens For a pathway clear I set this in motion All are unaware I should know it’s wrong They say no mans an island. Stone burner Live my life in my own skin. Stone burner To me it’s just a movie. Stone burner no where else id rather be. Stone burner Did my time scene of the crime Marveled at what I’ve done With all the sirens all around You’d think Id turn and run If I’m found tied and bound It lead to my decay And all those lessons never learned Has lead us to this day Then they bring the water By both land and air Accompanied by sirens For a pathway clear I set this in motion All are unaware I should know it’s wrong They say no mans an island. Stone burner Live my life in my own skin. Stone burner To me it’s just a movie. Stone burner No one else id rather be. Stone burner

HANDLE OF A BROOM One noble gesture  One move that’s filled with pride   To protect the family he bravely steps outside Checking the commotion  Disturbance out in the yard   What happen right after  Struck all of us quite hard Handle of a broom Some fucking asshole Handle of a broom he mowed him down to his knees Handle of a broom and then he cuffed him Handle of a broom and tells you it is policy To shoot a man down he mowed him down to his knees Is all it takes too and tells you it is policy To shoot a man down he mowed him down to his knees Is all it takes too and tells you it is policy Solo Should I feel protected  Your service policy  Is to shoot shoot to kill   Someone you deem threatening A spoon a piece of string  Shoot at the first thing you see   Don’t feel so safe around someone  So cowardly Handle of a broom Some fucking asshole Handle of a broom he mowed him down to his knees Handle of a broom and then he cuffed him Handle of a broom and tells you it is policy To shoot a man down he mowed him down to his knees Is all it takes too and tells you it is policy To shoot a man down he mowed him down to his knees Is all it takes too and tells you it is policy Maybe I should digress right now   Before they tapping my phones   Those fucking assholes   Maybe I should digress right now   Before they follow me home  Those fucking assholes Handle of a broom Some fucking asshole Handle of a broom he mowed him down to his knees Handle of a broom and then he cuffed him Handle of a broom and tells you it is policy To shoot a man down he mowed him down to his knees Is all it takes too and tells you it is policy To shoot a man down he mowed him down to his knees Is all it takes too and tells you it is policy Lyrics: Williams

about

UNDERHANDER is a hard rock band based out of the L.A. area. Founding members guitarist Joey Courteau and vocalist Kim Williams brought the band together after being bandmates and good friends for years in Los Angeles. UNDERHANDER has released its debut album produced by Billy Grazaidei in 2019. The band is currently working on a live show in support of the new album.

This album came about through Kim and Joe being friends and bandmates in various projects throughout the late 90's up until around 2005 when they both took a little break from music. The duo joined up again around 2010 to write songs that would eventually build Underhander. The beginning idea was to write songs with heavy crunchy guitars while having soulful vocals with thoughtful lyrics cascading over the heavy guitar riffs and drums. Once the songs were written a band was put together and Underhander began playing around the southern California area with a great response from the crowds.

The songs made their way to Billy Grazaidei of Biohazard/Powerflo. Billy dug the songs and felt they had potential. He agreed to produce one song as a sample of his skills. The guys heard the track and were immediately down 100%. The track sounded amazing and so Underhander began the process of pre production, producing and recording the album at Billy's Firewater Studios in Gardena, CA.

Billy brought a lot of musicality to the album and fresh ideas. The band was surprised that Billy had such a good sense of melody being that he comes from such hardcore roots. Billy really helped define the songs choruses and bring out the best in the band.

Lots of blood, sweat and tears went into this album. Friendships were tested and bandmates bailed but the album was finished.

You're getting a big piece of our lives when you listen to this album. We hope you enjoy!
