HUNTINGS
‘SONGS OF LAST RESORT’ – ALBUM LAUNCH
plus support
VELOURIAS + FUSED
Whelan’s Upstairs • Wed 23rd October 2024
To celebrate the release of their debut album ‘Songs of Last Resort’ HUNTINGS visit upstairs at Whelan’s for the official launch night!
The dark, brooding sound of HUNTINGS is the product of James and Brian Edwards, brothers that eschewed the need for a bass player, stripping back their sound to the core elements of guitar, vocals and drums. In simplicity they found power. This isn’t a White Stripes or Royal Blood rip off either, owing more to the speaker shredding distortion of Nirvana and the intrinsic tension of Joy Division.
Formed from the ashes of a previous project after the bass player left, James (guitar/vocals) and Brian (drums) began writing as a two piece. The songs being crafted were shorter, punchier and more immediate than previous efforts. Wrapping up rock influences from the likes of PJ Harvey, Therapy? Stooges and Pixies, along-side more eclectic influences like Portishead and Massive Attack, the name HUNTINGS captures the explorative nature of the songs as well as the writing process involved in their debut album ‘Songs of Last Resort’.
