History

The band members met at Pimlico School, now Pimlico Academy, whilst on the music programme.[2] The Hics were originally formed as a two piece electronic indie band between Evans and Welsh, and were later joined by Matt Knox on bass. After feeling something was missing, they called on their old schoolmates Rox Barker, who joined as vocalist, and Geordan Reid-Campbell, who joined as guitarist. The band met their sixth member, Saxophonist David Turay, through the Jazz scene. The Hics got their name from hickory, the wood from which some drumsticks are made.[1]

Their first single, "Lines", was released on 30 September 2012 through their SoundCloud page. The song was soon picked up by BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Gilles Peterson, who played the song on his radio show on 6 October 2012,[3] and later included it on his compilation Brownswood Bubblers Nine, released on 10 December 2012.[4]

In January 2013, the band were runners-up for the Best Breakthrough Act category at Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards.[5] Their second single, "Cold Air", premiered on 16 February 2013 on Gilles Peterson's BBC Radio 6 Music show.[6] The song was released 3 days later on 19 February 2013 to The Hics' SoundCloud page .[7] In 6 March 2013, they were mentioned in the NME magazine after being promoted by Real Star Records.[8] They released the track "Tangle" on 8 July 2013,[9] as a teaser for their upcoming EP of the same name, which was released on 19 August 2013.[10] The band played their first headline show at the 750 capacity Electrowerkz in London on 1 August 2013, to a sold-out crowd.[11][12] The music video for the song "Tangle", their first music video, premiered on 3 September 2013.[13] The song "Cold Air" was featured on the in-game radio station Worldwide FM of the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V.[14][15]

In May 2014 the band released a new song on their SoundCloud page entitled "All We'll Know". The music video for the song premiered on 9 June 2014[16] and the song was officially released as a single on 16 June 2014.[17] The Hics collaborated with drummer Richard Spaven on a song entitled "Whole Other*", which was released on his album of the same name on 7 July 2014.[18][19] On 19 September 2014 The Hics were filmed for an appearance on the Channel 4 Four to the Floor series, performing their latest single "All We'll Know". The episode was broadcast on 1 October.[20] In November 2014 The Hics' Saxophone player David Turay died.[21][22] In mid-2015 The Hics were signed to the OddChild Music label.[23] The result of the Little Simz collaboration, the song "Gratitude", premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 9 September 2015.[24] The Hics' first new material in over a year, it was released on Little Simz' debut album on 18 September 2015.[25] In late 2015, bass player Matt Knox departed the band.
