King Hannah is a Liverpool-based band celebrated for their brooding, cinematic soundscapes and raw, heartfelt storytelling. Led by Hannah Merrick’s smoky, magnetic vocals and Craig Whittle’s evocative, reverb-soaked guitar work, their music bridges the gap between indie rock, alternative, and Americana, with a sound that feels both intimate and cinematic.
Following the critical success of their debut album, I’m Not Sorry, I Was Just Being Me (2022), King Hannah returned with their sophomore effort, Big Swimmer, an album that expands their sonic palette. Big Swimmer explores deeper emotional landscapes while retaining their signature mix of haunting minimalism and explosive crescendos. Tracks from the record have become live staples, showcasing the band’s ability to craft performances that are as delicate and intimate as they are thunderous and visceral.
King Hannah’s reputation as a powerhouse live act is solidified by their sold-out European tours, which saw packed venues resonate with their dynamic energy. Whether in sprawling crescendos or hushed, tender moments, the duo’s live sound captures the full breadth of their artistry, making every show an unforgettable experience. With Big Swimmer and a trail of sold-out performances, King Hannah continues to establish themselves as a commanding force in the indie music scene.
