Live Review | The Hunna | King Tut’s

The Hunna returned to Glasgow ready to rock King Tut’s with a sold out show.

Fresh from their debut album release announcement and their new UK tour dates, the indie rockers made their way back to Scotland for a headline set at the famous King Tut’s.

The Glasgow was also the first date on the new tour to sell out and as youngsters filled the bar with The Hunna tops, glitter strewn faces and beaming smiles, there was high anticipation in the air before the show as those eagerly waited to secure a front row spot for their favourite four-piece.

The young crowd screamed as the band made their way into the stage and before the guys had time to pick up their instruments, the famous ‘here we f*cking go’ chant filled the venue.

Launching straight into ‘You & Me’ with full energy from the get-go, both the audience and band were bounding around the intimate space. Opening with one of your most-known tracks may be a risk that the show will stumble along with only a few peak moments until the encore, but this was certainly not the case. The Hunna have proven they know exactly how to create the perfect summer indie rock anthems.

It was, of course, their most known tracks including ‘We Could Be’,’Be Young’ and ‘She’s Casual’, which prompted the biggest reactions including a loud singalong chorus and mosh pits for the latter, with frontman Ryan Potter’s strong vocals guiding the crowd through the night.

On the night, the band had also taken time to preview tracks from their forthcoming album release ‘100’ which were strong and varied in style, while keeping true to The Hunna sound.

In the eight months since forming, one thing for certain is these guys have built a dedicated fan base who are already hanging on their every word. On playing a brand new track the crowd were singing along by the time the chorus came back around despite never hearing the song before.

As the set finished and in true rock ‘n’ roll style band members staged dived into the crowd, the screams only got louder as the crowd refused to shift from their standing spot until all members had left the stage.

With forthcoming sold out shows in the UK and US alongside their appearance at Reading and Leeds Festival, it seems the hype will just continue to build for the band as The Hunna make 2016 their year.
