About The Hunna
Emerging from Hertfordshire in 2015, The Hunna quickly carved out a distinctive niche in the British rock scene, blending explosive guitar riffs with infectious pop sensibilities. The band, originally comprising Ryan Potter (vocals, guitar), Dan Dorney (guitar), Jermaine Angin (bass), and Jack Metcalfe (drums), burst onto the scene with their debut single “Bonfire” and quickly followed up with “You & Me,” both tracks becoming immediate fan favourites and staples on alternative radio. Their debut album, “100,” released in 2016, propelled them into the mainstream, showcasing their knack for crafting stadium-ready anthems with deeply personal lyrics.
The Hunna’s sound is characterised by its relentless energy, hook-laden choruses, and Potter’s distinctive vocal delivery, which effortlessly shifts between melodic introspection and powerful, impassioned shouts. They’ve consistently delivered albums that resonate with a youthful, energetic fanbase, from the gritty “Dare” to the more refined, yet equally impactful, “I’d Rather Die Than Let You In.” Despite lineup changes over the years, the band’s core spirit and commitment to high-energy, emotionally charged rock and pop have remained unwavering. Their live shows are legendary for their intensity and the profound connection they forge with their audience, making every performance a communal celebration of their music.
