The Hand Me Down Kids

Pop Punk, Powerpop, Rock | Lincoln, Nebraska

The Hand Me Down Kids is a pop punk powerpop band from Lincoln, NE who knows that music is all about the fans. Lamoni Finlayson (vocals) started the band back in August 2008 as a solo project before bringing Fletcher Sherwood (guitar), Brandon Butterfield (bass), Anthony Butterfield (drums), and Paul Knapp (guitar) onboard to make the project into a full band line up. They started flooding Myspace with songs like “The Comeback”, “Heart to Molly”, and “College Girl Queen”, songs that conveyed the underdog feelings Lamoni was inspired by when he named the original solo project “The Hand Me Down Kid.” Those three songs reached over 105,000 plays on Myspace in the first six months and the band profile attracted over 9,000 myspace friends.

Since then, through fan communication and interaction they have revived a previously dead music scene in their area, and developed a strong online following with over 35 active street teams in more than twenty states, and even five different countries. Their fan base has continued to grow to over 16,000 Myspace friends and hundreds of text update subscribers in over 40 states. The band receives over 100 comments a day, but they still manage to get a reply out to almost everyone. They know that without dedicated fans with a passion and love for music, living out their passion of playing music together wouldn’t be possible. 

Some of their influences are bands such as Every Avenue, All Time Low, Forever The Sickest Kids, We The Kings, Mayday Parade, and many more. Even though they have only been a band for a short amount of time The Hand Me Down Kids have already started to make a name for themselves! They released their first demo titled “We’re Naked Under Our Clothes”, containing the band’s three original songs in March of 2009.

Lamoni was previously in the duo From a Whim and later went on to start the solo project We Should Whisper!
