The Hitmen

The Hitmen stand as a distinctive force within British New Wave, emerging from England’s fertile early ’80s music scene. Their catalogue includes the album "Torn Together" released in 1981 and the earlier full-length "Aim For The Feet" from 1980, alongside the single "Bates Motel". The band’s sound is marked by a sharp, energetic edge that captures the dynamism of the era, making their recordings enduring touchstones for enthusiasts of post-punk and New Wave music.

In October 2026, The Hitmen are announcing their return to the stage as a support act for JOYCE MANOR at The Academy in Ireland. Sharing the bill with acts such as Fortitude Valley and supporting one of the most talked-about headliners in alternative rock, The Hitmen continue to showcase their live appeal and connect with audiences who value both heritage and innovation in live music. These gigs offer a welcome opportunity for both long-time followers and new listeners to experience the band's legacy in a contemporary context.

Whether you’re revisiting classic tracks like "Bates Motel", "Bad Timing", or "Comfort Me", or catching their vibrant presence at concert venues, The Hitmen keep the spirit of early ’80s New Wave alive for discerning music fans.
