Funk
The Sunset Beach Hut bring the groove with their aptly named new single ‘Funk’. With a disco-esque bass line, jangly guitars and a honeyed vocal, the quartet are here to get you dancing.
”With my lyrics I’m always trying to find the balance between sincerity and giving everything away. A lot of what I want to write about is quite personal and me being quite closed off I struggle to talk about my feelings. This song is an ode to vagueness. Because the answer to the question posed in the first line of the song – “what harm could it do?” – is a lot, and that really is as artists what we’re all most scared of.” – Aphra Smith (singer)
Indie-pop quartet The Sunset Beach Hut have been rapidly gaining attention on the Birmingham gigging circuit. Taking influence from the likes of Two Door Cinema Club, The Japanese House, Bombay Bicycle Club and Fickle Friends, they have combined their efforts into creating something new. With funky bass lines, prominent guitar hooks, and pop inspired vocals, The Sunset Beach Hut are starting to win the hearts of the Midlanders and look forward to taking their music elsewhere.
Debut singles ‘Comfort’ and ‘Upside-Down’ both were awarded BBC Introducing Shropshire’s Track of the Week and their most recent single ‘Bury’ has captured over 20,000 streams on Spotify, and they look to follow this success with future releases.
The two years since their formation were filled with some incredible gigs, selling out The Sunflower Lounge and supporting some of the UK’s best upcoming bands including SPINN, Stereo Honey and Calva Louise, taking their first trip down to London supporting Shields and securing a place at international music festival Focus Wales 2019.
After a brief hiatus in 2019 the band returned with their most recent single ‘twenty//25five’, which received recognition from BBC Introducing Shropshire and Birmingham’s Switch Radio.
