The Hubbards this week released their latest single, 'Alison', and it probably wouldn't come as a surprise to you if we said that it's another cracker from the Hull band. 

The Hubbards are band of whom we have now seen four times live, with the latest being on Saturday at Humber Street Sesh and on each of these occasions their sound has been ever progressing. After hearing 'Alison' live on Saturday evening on the main stage beside the Hull Marina, you sense that The Hubbards are a band who are evolving from boy to man. 'Alison' is solid evidence of this, a contrasting track that turns swiftly from a slow and soft track to a powerful one before repeating the process whilst throwing in a funky little tune too. It's a real diverse track from the band hailing from the City of Culture, a track of which you feel as though has been carefully mastered, yet also tampered and played with frequently as upon each listen you notice something else within the background. It's a real mix of different sounds and transitions that all mix perfectly together to create a brilliant rock 'n' roll track that's fitting enough for a headbang and toetap or two. Something that we're not afraid to admit we did at Humber Street Sesh during The Hubbards set.
