| With their pigheaded and razorsharp indie/post-hardcore sound and their energetic live performances Hitch has been doing their own thing way more than a decade now. Strongly rooted in a DIY & Punk background, Belgium's finest underground trio has toured Europe ten times, toured the States three times and has played hundreds of club shows with bands like GIRLS AGAINST BOYS, AT THE DRIVE-IN, MUDHONEY, MONO and CAVE IN. In 2006 they released their fourth album, 'We Are Electric!', which was recorded onto 2inch tape at Kozmo Studio in Zagreb, Croatia. In the meanwhile they have released a split 7inch with their friends from AMENRA on Vlas Vegas Records (VVR008). In june 2008 the band recorded their fifth studio album with Hein Devos (aka the fourth Hitch-member) to be released January 26 2009. Longtime friend and producer John Congleton (THE PAPER CHASE, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, MODEST MOUSE, ...) was appointed for mixing duties and definetely lifted the band's signature sound to a new and higher level. New material is basic and pure, yet ... very effective ! More than ever Hitch has reinvented themselves on their new album and incorporated very different influences such as the early nineties UK shoegaze bands (MY BLOODY VALENTINE, THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, ...) to that typical mid nineties San Diego sound (DRIVE LIKE JEHU, SWING KIDS, ...). In a way the band got back to their musical roots but injected it with their own sound. Hitch is: Mich Decruyenaere - guitars, vocals; Paul Lamont - bass; Olivier Wychuyse - drums; Hein Devos - live sound |
