Matthew, Paul, Dimitri & Jack began making thier soft-centered dream pop back in early 2006. Switching between joyous pop-punk delight and delicate melancholia in a heartbeat, It Hugs Back melt layers of fuzzy vocals and guitars into their reassuring blend of endearing shoegaze and heart-on-sleeves vulnerability.
It Hugs Back hail from Kent but recall a tapestry of far-flung influences as rich as their layered multi-instrumental sound…."a slight nod to My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth" (Rob Da Bank), hearty chunks of skewed Lemonhead riffs and the pop-hearted summer breeze of Pet Sounds
I have put some new songs up...they are all very different to match my schizophrenic musical thoughts. Hope you like them. If you do, if you don't let me know...I like to be kept informed.

I hope you guys were pleased with how it went?? Anyways , you should be , you were fab , sounding really professional , you could've played on the bigger stages and you would've nailed it , i'm sure Fredx!
Hi there, Lizzie told me you guys are playing tomorrow! Congrats thats amazing! I would wear my teeshirt but I'm doing a radio conference on the saturday morning so I have to look 'impartial' I was just wondering what time you were playing and also if you might have time for a wee interview? The radio academy are holding a competition and the best interview footage gets work experience at radio 1....Plus I'd love to interview you for burnfm obviously!
Hi folks. The bombardment begins! We have five shows this month, the first of which is mighty exciting!
Supporting his new Asthmatic Kitty LP ’In The Vines’ Raymond Raposa stops by for one of only six UK shows. His wonderful songwriting is awash with trippy electronics and lazy country licks. Twisted country Grandaddy possibly? I dunno, bloody good though! Assisting on the album are a wealth of talented musicians including members of the wonderful Phosphorescent, Jana Hunter and Sufjan Stevens.
Supports are great too.
York ain't so far away! 10 minutes from the station.
Please Please You presents Castanets, Fishing Partners + Red Trees. The Basement, York, Thurs. 8th May, 8pm. £6adv.
Easily one of the most important bands of our times (and we don't say that lightly), Stars of the Lid are the highpoint of the ambient genre. Their influence on the music that really matters over the last decade has been huge, and we're incredibly honoured to be hosting them again in Leeds. This gig will be very very different, and very very special. Stars of the Lid have excelled at designing subtle, minimalist epics which sound like they're being played on a single multifaceted organic instrument. A wise man once described SOTL as "divine classical drones without the tedious intrusion of drums, or vocals. "
The Declining Winter is the musical project of Richard Vincent Adams of Leeds UK, the co-founder of the continuing group Hood and a full time stricken office worker. What does it sound like? Richard says "cassette tapes spilling out of the glovebox of a 1970's Datsun Sunny somewhere in the north of England, captured on Super 8 film". He's not far off. Live he is joined by a few more people to bring the beautiful pastoral feel to life. Wonderful stuff.
