A while back, I saw a sponsored ad on Facebook, prompting me to like a page for a band. I didn't know much about it at all, but I'm always trying to expand my music library, so I liked it. Then, I basically forgot about it.
A couple of weeks later, a video popped up on my news feed and auto-played. Annoying Facebook feature, am I right?
Except I didn't shut it off - I liked it. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I fell in love with The Hunna.
Originally from Hetfordshire, England, this new indie-band is made up of Ryan Potter, Dan Dorney, Jermaine Angin and Jack Metcalfe. Their single, You & Me, debuted on the Spotify Viral 50. Their debut album, 100, debuted at number 13 on the official UK albums charts.
I would compare their sound to bands like The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, and The 1975, although they don't mimic the unique sounds of any of these bands. They are an alt. rock/indie masterpiece and they go at it in their own way. They say they take a lot of inspiration from older rock bands, like Sex Pistols and The Clash, as well as grunge bands like Nirvana, but they definitely make it their own.
Just like The 1975 rose up to dominate the alt-music scene, The Hunna is sure to be the next big thing on your radio, so definitely keep your ears peeled for them. Their satisfying sounds and loose rock vibes are nearly guaranteed to have you replaying songs like She's Casual over and over again.
