Idle Hands (PDX) Forced to Change their Name Due to Trademark Infringement


In a definite bummer, Portlanders’ spooky Trad Heavy metal Band Idle Hands is being forced to change their name, by another band of the same moniker. The band made a post to social media explaining they will need to change names and they are liquidating all merch asap. The band has been on the rise the last few years, scoring major opening slots and festivals, such as support for King Diamond’s US tour last fall, and already has summer dates lined up for the summer of 2021. Their current 7-inch single – Don’t Waste Your Time is out now, with a vinyl due for release this fall. We’ll keep you posted on the band’s upcoming name change when they figure it out.
