The original chapter of Haircut One Hundred beamed briefly yet brightly.
They achieved the kind of success that they could have only dreamed of: four UK Top 10 hits, all of which were definitive '80s classics - 'Love Plus One', 'Fantastic Day', 'Favourite Shirts (Boys Meets Girl)' and 'Nobody's Fool' - followed by a debut album, 'Pelican West', which peaked at #2 during an eleven week run in the Top 10, in the process reaching Platinum status.
That was 42 years ago. But now after a lengthy absence, Haircut One Hundred are back: fuelled by the power of friendship, a love of adventure, and the simple joy of seeing wherever their unexpected next chapter will take them. Their return now gathers pace after releasing their first new music in 40 years with the new single 'The Unloving Plum'. Ahead of more new music and an album in 2025.
'The Unloving Plum' sparkles with the exuberant joy of a band loving what they do. The joyous, brass-assisted, instantly unforgettable pop that they're best known for is still their most compelling trait, but it's a natural evolution that takes in touches of jangly, Beatles-esque pop and an anthemic Britpop-flavoured power. While vocalist/guitarist Nick Heyward explains what it means to him, it also speaks to the universal experience of something great in life emerging from what you initially thought was the worst possible outcome.
Tracks: Vanishing Point / The Unloving Plum / That's a Start / Dynamite / Come Back to Me / Someone / A Wonderful Life / Soul Bird / Raincloud / Sunshine
