Canadian skatepunk band Handheld is celebrating its 25th anniversary with an updated take on their song "Once," first released on Homebrew in 1998.

The new version is called "Once Again."

Andy Dietrich says:

In 1998 a few guys in high school started a punk rock band. One of the first songs they ever recorded was called “Once”, which became the first song off their debut record. It was a snapshot of youthful dreams and aspirations. Fast forward to the present day, and Handheld has revisited that iconic track with a retrospective twist that tugs at the heartstrings. The passage of time has added layers of depth and emotion, turning what was once a hopeful anthem into a poignant journey through the years. Or something like that…
