Hutch are whimsical, psychedelic twang-pop enthusiasts with a penchant for poppy hooks.
Emerging from Brighton’s vibrant music scene after lockdown, Hutch hit the ground running with live momentum. As well as selling out iconic local venues like Green Door Store, Komedia and The Old Blue Last, Hutch have been steadily touring across the UK and Europe, supporting artists like The Last Dinner Party, W.I.T.C.H, Oracle Sisters, Gitkin, Do Nothing and LOVE along the way. This consistent touring has led to multiple festival appearances including TGE, Victorious, 2000 Trees and Dot to Dot to name a few. Clash have praised their explosive, joy-filled live shows as “delivering carefree psyche-pop effervescence”.

In 2025, Hutch recorded with producer Iggy B (Penelope Isles/Deery/Gary Numan) in a studio by the seaside to sculpt the band’s upcoming EP and debut LP. As well as this, they’ve completed two headline UK tours, recorded backing vocals on Paris Paloma’s Good Boy and lent their music to multiple fundraisers including MAP (Medical Aid for Palestine), Testicular Cancer awareness and Parkinson’s Research.

Recently Hutch have bolstered their live show with the addition of harp, synth and flute, as well as two more voices adding to their already gleaming four-part harmonies that Far Out Magazine described as “Brian Wilson-esque.” With releases championed by Radio X and BBC Radio 6 Music (“Joyous” - Deb Grant), and featured by Lambrini Girls on BBC Radio 1’s Rock Show, Hutch are quickly establishing themselves as one of the UK’s most exciting new acts.

With so much creativity unfolding on stage and in the studio, Hutch have a lot in store for 2026 and beyond
