About:

‘Risky, dangerous, dark and deliciously melodic, Hitchcock are pioneers of a unique and addictive sound which borrows and betters everything since 1984.’ Piers Hernu, The Mail On Sunday.

Hitchcock are without doubt one of the most exciting bands to have emerged in recent years! With an outrageous mix of bombastic, eccentric, theatrical electronics and histrionics, like their namesake, they are truly masters of their art - dark, twisted yet utterly addictive.

The past 12 months has seen the release of two singles and a series of high profile gigs that have established Hitchcock as one of the most exciting new acts of 2010. They have completed their debut album and are set to release their third single, Villain this summer. The first two singles performed admirably, achieving plays on Huw Stevens on Radio One, extensive support from XFM, including the Eddie Temple Morris show, and A list status from Kerrang. The campaigns created real momentum and have positioned them as one of the talked up bands of the year.

Their new single ‘Villain’ is Black Sabbath meets Chase And Status, a hard hitting, hook-laden, concise slab of dirty, angry sample-rock! It’s a schizophrenic fusion of sounds with fatal hooks and a big chorus. The track is already causing a significant stir amongst industry ‘experts’ and the dancefloors of the UK underground club scene are stirring to the sound of Hitchcock.

The past year has been a whirlwind of activity for the band. Without a label and a budget they have slogged around the UK and built their name and reputation through talent and hard work.

Radio West Midlands Introducing first noticed the band leading to a huge performance at the BBC Introducing Stage at T In The Park. In the words of the Scottish Sunday Mail ‘Hitchcock stole the show and smashed ‘T In The Park’ to pieces’.

The band have gigged extensively and have already performed at profile gigs across the UK including at Gatecrasher, Koko, Dingwalls, Moho Live, The Summer Sound System and T In The Park. This summer they will be making their debut at many festivals including The Secret Garden Party, Napa Live and the ‘Uplifted Festival’.

Hitchcock have also created some killer remixes recently including the critically acclaimed reworking of The Lost Prophet’s ‘Felon’ and The Enemy’s ‘No Time For Tears’. Both mixes clearly show Hitchcock’s ability to make great tracks sound different and even more powerful.

The two creative intellects behind the project are Andy Huckvale and Matt Droog. They take a cinematic look at the world being inspired musically by composers like Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith. Their songmanship is a psychological analysis of the darker side of humanity.

Hitchcock’s live shows also maintain a strong cinematic vision and can be likened to a David Lynch movie. Surreal nightmarish and dreamlike images collide with the band’s meticulously crafted sound. Lead singer Matt Droog’s Clockwork Orange persona and in yer face “Sex-Pistols-esque” contortions are matched by Andy’s unique technical ability, making gigs a thrilling spectacle of epic proportions. The bands flamboyant style is a seductive twist on reality, making the provocative playful and the forbidden electrifying.
