Raw, emotional, driven and sonically
adventurous, Hurricane #1 are a new
band founded by former Ride co-leader
Andy Bell. Following a series of
well-received U.K.-only EPs, this debut
album--exploding with confidence in its
own excellence, taking in everything from
dazed Beatle-y melancholia to
Replacements-esque adrenal
thrash--immediately places Hurricane
#1 at the forefront of new British bands. 

Joining Andy Bell--whose incredible
songcraft has never been more
anthemically compelling--are
star-in-the-making vocalist Alex Lowe,
ex-Thee Hypnotics bassist Will Pepper
and teenage drum prodigy Gareth
Farmer. 

The album was co-produced by Bell and
Stephen Harris, who also produced
Kula Shaker's K.
