Catch them live...The Hours

Beats

Where? Manchester Academy

When? Tonight

Why? New single “Come On” has got music bods hot under the collar with comparisons to Chris Martin’s Coldplay afoot.

The band’s penchant for soaring melodies are probably better suited to stadium gigs but you won’t get many more chances to catch The Hours in a venue of this size.

They are touring with Kasabian this summer as well as performing at T in the Park and Oxygen festivals.
