About The Hunna
Emerging from Hertfordshire in 2015, The Hunna quickly carved out a distinctive niche in the British music scene with their potent blend of indie rock and pop sensibilities. Comprising Ryan Potter (vocals, guitar), Jack Metcalfe (guitar), Jermaine Angin (bass), and Kieran Brown (drums), the band burst onto the scene with a sound characterised by huge, anthemic choruses, driving rhythms, and an undeniable knack for crafting catchy hooks. Their debut album, “100,” released in 2016, became an instant fan favourite, propelled by singles like “Bonfire” and “Flickin’ Your Hair,” which showcased their raw energy and lyrical prowess.
Since then, The Hunna have continued to evolve, releasing subsequent albums such as “Dare” (2018), “I’d Rather Die Than Let You In” (2020), and “The Hunna” (2022), each demonstrating their growth while retaining their signature high-octane style. Their music often explores themes of resilience, ambition, and the trials of modern life, resonating deeply with a dedicated fanbase. Known for their relentless touring schedule and the sheer intensity of their live shows, The Hunna have built a formidable reputation as a must-see act. Their sound is a perfect storm of stadium-sized rock anthems and accessible pop melodies, ensuring a diverse and energetic crowd at every performance.
