London-based alternative quartet.

After a string of unfeasably catchy sold out seven inches on ubercool labels like Loog and WAKS, the band released their debut album ‘You Dig the Tunnel, I’ll Hide the Soil’ in 2009 on independent legends Fierce Panda in Europe and on new label TBD, also home to Radiohead, in the US.

Produced by Tim Burgess, ‘You Dig The Tunnel..’ was critically acclaimed and received 10/10 in Vice Magazine, 8/10 in NME and Album Of The Month in Artrocker. It was included in many top 20 albums of the year lists and the single Crocodile was the Single Of The Year 2009 in Artrocker Magazine.

The second album ‘About Girls’ has just been released in 2012 and received an equally good reception; produced by Jim Anderson (Cold Specks,Blood Red Shoes) (with one track by Laurie Latham-Squeeze, Echo And The Bunnymen), ‘About Girls’ shows a poppier, more playful side of the band, with its breezy Pulp-meets Buddy Holly choruses and occasional nod to Roy Orbison.

NME: “A stunner”
Steve Lamacq (6 Music/Radio 2): “one of the catchiest bands I’ve heard all year..pure indie pop brilliance”
Fake DIY: “a bona fide indie anthem in waiting…a band not to miss” 8/10
The 405 (track of the day): “it will bring your blood pressure down and put a smile on your face.”
Artrocker: “one of the catchiest and most addictive bands we’ve heard…head-invading potential singles firing at you one after the other…it would be the pop crime of the year if not enough people heard this amazing album”
BBC America: “combining strains of dancehall with post punk, Hatcham Social have perfected the catchy indiepop sound…one of the top 5 UK bands to see at SXSW”
The Quietus: “loving Hatcham Social’s new direction”
