Black Hats are an indie/new wave band from Oxford, UK.

 

Their music is constructed around solid grooves, that are built on deft, reggae-infused bass lines and skittering drum beats. These grooves are then welded to razor wire guitars with an anxious energy and melodies with the same sharp and melodic punk edge that also served the likes of The Jam so well. Finish it all off with witty and catchy lyrics and you have all the ingredients for a great band.

 

(L-R) Nick, Mark & Budd have worked with Grammy-nominated producer, Sam Williams (Supergrass and Plan B) and have supported named acts including; Reef, Dodgy & Stornaway. They have played top UK Festivals and venues, including; Wychwood Festival, Truck Festival & the 02 Academy Oxford.

 

Their second single, 'No More Smoke’ features in both Shameless and The Magicians on US TV.
