UK alt-pop mainstays HONNE – the dynamic duo of Andy Clutterbuck and James Hatcher – are set to land Down Under in March 2025, armed with a brand-new arsenal of songs from their fourth studio record, OUCH. Dropped in early September, the album marks a bold new chapter in HONNE’s evolution, peeling back the layers to expose the raw emotions that have always been their secret weapon.
From their modest beginnings in East London, HONNE have built an empire of feels: over three billion streams, sold-out global tours with more than 210,000 tickets snapped up, and a loyal fanbase that lives for their mix of synth-drenched intimacy and soulful alt-pop sheen. But at its core, HONNE has always been about the unshakable friendship that fuels their music – and OUCH takes that connection to the next level.
[OUCH is…] “the most personal and delicate album we’ve created. It’s inward, outward, forward and backward looking and documents my wonderful and daunting journey into parenthood and how that has re-shaped me as a person.” – Andy Clutterbuck
After pushing their boundaries with 2021’s Let’s Just Say The World Ended A Week From Now, What Would You Do? – a feature-packed juggernaut boasting names like Khalid, Griff, and Niki – HONNE have gone independent with their Smile More Recordings imprint. This has resulted in a stripped-back, heart-on-sleeve soundscape that feels like a love letter to their fans.
Sydney’s Roundhouse and Melbourne’s Forum will play host to the pair’s deeply personal, yet universally resonant tracks. Tickets go on sale at 10am local time on Thursday, 19 December, via secretsounds.com.
