About Electric Hoarse

High energy rock n roll party band influenced by classic, indie, punk and alternative rock (and some indie-pop!)
Festival band
Ashford
Public liability insurance of £5 million

Electric Hoarse is the sound of England in the summertime; an intoxicating blend of lazy days, electric nights and banging tunes! We have a repertoire of well known party bangers (over 3 hours worth) and also have an album of originals that we can dip into when needed. Described by The Big Takeover magazine as; "Musically, they combine the jaunt and joyous nature of upbeat British indie-rock music with a hazy, windswept vibe that has drifted in from some far-flung, US desert rock sound. This deft and delicate combination makes for a mercurial blend of groove and pathos, upbeat energy, and drifting nostalgia.” Formed a decade ago in Kent, England, Electric Hoarse has been captivating audiences with their electrifying performances and powerful songwriting. Their debut album, Endless Summer, released in 2024, showcases their distinct style and has cemented their reputation as outstanding songwriters and live performers. Over the years, they have graced stages across Southern England, from headlining iconic venues like The Water Rats in London and The Carlisle in Hastings, as well as local Kent festivals such as Milkfest and Cranfest. The band is comprised of Louis Warner (vocals and bass), Tom Platt (guitars and vocals), and Paul Mitchell (drums), with Matt Monks adding depth through additional guitars, keys, vocals, engineering, and production.
