The Hooks at Winters Tavern

The Hooks is one of the most exciting bands in San Francisco at the moment. The Irish transplants have made the Bay Area their home. Their first album “Everything Is Golden” garnered much acclaim from Japan, the U.S. and Europe. 

“The Hooks…is a magical charged-up power pop exemplified by their self-released EP ‘10,000 Feet.’ It’s loaded with bright, dueling guitars” says Duncan Scott Davidson of the SF Chronicle. “Anthemic Irish balladeers, the name says it all: they have the hooks (and the looks) indeed, and in spades. With a nod to the Kinks, and The Clash, their joyful, bratty call to arms is infectious and stays with you long after that last Guinness has been quaffed. The Hooks forge their own galloping new hybrid of Irish…they do not disappoint, and sound fresh and original.” 

The Hooks have cultivated a new sound for their most recent album “Social Climbing” recorded at famed Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, CA. The album is a hook-laden extrospective comment on today’s world containing a myriad of colors and sounds. This multi-format release is available now from all great outlets.
