HYMNS
Drawing heavily from the post punk genre, HYMNS
create epic and ethereal songs that enlighten and
uplift. Baritone vocals combined with hooky guitar
riffs provide the foundation for music with melody
and honesty at its heart. Having only formed in 2016,
the London based four-piece have recently recorded
their debut release ‘The London EP’ which explore
themes of isolation, desperation and hope in modern
day city living. We’re looking forward to seeing much
more from HYMNS in 2017!

If you could play any festival in the world, where
would you want to play and why? Coachella, in my
head it seems like the US version of Glastonbury but
without the rain!
You’ve been told that from now on you can only play
cover songs from another band, what band would
you pick and why? The Smiths. They were such a
consistently strong group and personally I’d spend
the rest of my life striving to play the guitar as well as
Johnny Marr did / does.
Where do you see the band in 5 years? What’s the
dream? Quitting the day job and touring the world in
a jet plane. Earning a living in process! Simple.

BURNING AT BOTH ENDS

2016 which is available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon
and Bandcamp. With a few shows lined up locally this
year, the band hoping to cross the water and hit the
UK and beyond in the near future!

Looking back at every track you’ve released so far
as a band, what has been your absolute favourite?
Our favourite track is definitely ‘Before You Go Away’.
It was the last track we wrote for our debut album and
it really fused the pop punk and metal elements we all
love, it goes down well live too so it’s great fun to play
again and again.
If you could do or say something that would go
viral, what would it be? It would awesome if we could
have a music video go viral but it’s definitely more
likely that a video of our drummer hiding things in his
beard would go viral.
What essential possession could you not live
without on tour? We haven’t been on a full on tour
yet but I think we can all agree that even for a weekend
packed with gigs the essential item is deodorant.
