Short Bio:
Full-fat alt-rock from Pickering, North Yorkshire.
A three-piece band who blend the frequencies of 1990s Seattle rock with the energy and intensity of modern acts such as Kendrick Lamar.
Brace yourselves, HUNTER-GATHERER will carve out their name on your wall and leave you wanting more.
Bio continued:
The band’s influences range from Soundgarden and The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, to Kendrick Lamar and Anderson Paak. With their single 'Head Down' prompting the co-sign of Jericho Keys of BBC Radio York and North Yorkshire, the band continues to build momentum after a string of successful singles in 2019. "Yet another blinder of a single from HUNTER-GATHERER. What a way to end the show!" - Jericho Keys.
Each song has its own spirit that is let to evolve. The HUNTER-GATHERER sound is a mixture of power, funk, and catchy melodies. Everyone brings something unique to the table, with each member equally sharing the songwriting process and bringing forward their sound to the table. Bron's intricate yet forceful rock beats, Sam's ripping yet melodic riffs and Kris' funk-rock low-end, coupled with strong vocal lines, harmonies and anthemic choruses to ice it all off. HUNTER-GATHERER bring it completely.
HUNTER-GATHERER have just released their latest single 'Run My Mind' which is a hard hitting, modern commentary that is as loud as the voices we need in the world today. Recorded at Young Thugs Studios in York, this song punches up and doesn't let you down.
See you at the next gig, it's going to get freaky!
