The Hitmen

The Hitmen, a distinctive British group emerging from England’s early ‘80s New Wave scene, are known for their sharply crafted, melodic songwriting and stylish energy. Their discography includes the albums Aim For The Feet (1980) and Torn Together (1981), both capturing their vibrant take on the New Wave sound. Standout singles such as “Bates Motel” helped cement their reputation among aficionados of the era, while tracks like “Bad Timing” and “Comfort Me” reveal the band’s knack for blending catchy hooks with lyrical depth.

Continuing to bring their singular style to live audiences, The Hitmen are set to support Joyce Manor at major concerts, including a performance at THE ACADEMY in Dublin, Ireland in October 2026, and at Electric Bristol in the United Kingdom. Sharing the bill with such headliners demonstrates The Hitmen’s enduring relevance and their ability to connect with new generations of live music fans. Their presence on these highly anticipated tour dates reflects a legacy built on both studio prowess and dynamic stagecraft.

For those interested in the evolution of British New Wave and compelling live music experiences, The Hitmen remain a band well worth following. Keep an eye on their schedule for tour dates and upcoming gigs, and be sure not to miss their next concert appearance.
