It Hugs Back
Biography
Matthew - Guitar & Singing Paul - Bass Dimitri - Drums Jack - Organ & Singing
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 Lemon Head riffs and the pop-hearted summer breeze of Pet Sounds.
