Early Hours

The sun is rising for Early Hours… South Africa’s youngest rising stars. The band emerged out of the collective dream of three youngsters: Jake Bennett and Adam Rothschild. A dream to put their hearts into pop music, and share it with all the world. The band's vibrant and spirited sound has been described as a unique blend of britpop and afrorock. They do not care what time of night or day, when inspiration strikes, they will see it through until the Early Hours. The band rapidly rose to national prominence after winning Converse’s Get Out Of The Garage competition in 2014. International acclaim soon followed as they became the first South African artist to reach one million streams on a single track on SoundCloud. The band’s 2017 single “Smells Like Summer” reached #1 on the Indie Rock Chart on the popular music streaming platform. In addition to the above, their debut EP [released independently] has garnered over 5 million streams online. In 2017 the band were invited to showcase at Canada Music Week, where their unique spin on the indie genre caught the attention of various industry stakeholders. Early Hours returned back to South African in April to open for the Lumineers on their Cleopatra World Tour, as well as headline a national tour of their own. One can see that this cross-continental sensation have their sights set on reaching fans across the globe… The first South African band in history with over 1 Million plays on Soundcloud.
