Hansom Pilot single cover
Hansom Pilot, the band described as ‘foxy and fantastic' by the BBC release their eagerly-awaited debut single, GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE on 29th April 2008. In the lead up to the single release the band have embarked on a national tour including dates in Reading, Cambridge, Birmingham, Oxford, St. Albans, Southampton and London.
Having been voted by the public onto ITV1’s ‘Best Unsigned Acts’, reached the finals in the national ‘Adopt A Band’ competition and headlined the IPO international festival in Liverpool, Hansom Pilot signed to Eleventh Hour Records at the end of 2007. With their unique and action-packed sound, stand-out melodies and unquestionable stage presence, and having already built up a loyal Myspace following and gigged extensively in London and around the UK, the release of the single GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE is expected to herald the band’s breakthrough as one of the most exciting new acts of 2008.
Hansom Pilot are a female-fronted five-piece pop-rock band comprising two girls and three boys. Australian-born lead singer Bianca Denham: “So much is happening so fast but we can’t wait to get out on the road and bring our show to each and every city. We love the combination of pop melodies with darker themes. If you're going to break someone’s heart, do it with a smile and a flourish.”
GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE captures the mood of a band bursting to make its mark.
The single will be released on April 29th on Eleventh Hour Records as a download-only single.
After the national tour, Hansom Pilot’s debut album will be released in October 2008 followed by a European tour.
