Meet Your New Favourite Band

Glistening with pop punk goodness so sugary sweet you'll need a trip to the dentist, The Hype Theory's latest single, 'Kid At Heart' will make a bee line straight to your feet, refusing to budge until at the very least your toes are tapping along with delight.

From the playful riffs to the infectious drum beats that dance alongside incessant bass lines, 'Kid At Heart' is unforgiving in its pop punk contagiousness. Add to the mix Katy Jackson's powerful vocals that add a refreshing twist to the often male swamped genre, and suddenly there is something fresh, new and appealing about the Essex band. 'These Are The Times' continues to weave a feel good vibe that somehow manages to camouflage the seriousness of the track, making for an easy listen that brilliantly unravels more of itself as you hit the play button once again,whilst the inclusion of an acoustic version of 'Kid At Heart' shows the track in an entirely different light, removing the bouncy happiness of the original and instead leaving Katy Jackson's vocals to reveal the pure emotion of the track with mesmerising effortless.

With their as yet untitled debut album due for release later this year there is no excuse for not getting to know The Hype Theory from the beginning. Whilst on the surface it may seem like mere bubblegum pop punk The Hype Theory are much more than that. Powerful, infectious and with emotion oozing out of every line, The Hype Theory are only just beginning. Meet your new favourite band.
