The 113
The Hedonist out Friday 17th April 2026 via Launchpad+ / EMI North
Music embargoed until 17th April 2026.
The 113 (one-thirteen) is a conjuration of a dark and visceral post-punk. The genre-bending project combines heavy guitars and racing rhythms, with cathartic and emphatic melodies.
Initially beginning life as singer Jack’s solo endeavour, The 113 quickly outgrew the project’s bedroom demo origins, gradually blooming into a full four-piece with drummer Jack Picton, rhythm guitarist Louis McLoughlin, and bassist Josh Matthias; crafting their sound collaboratively in studios and on stages. In a short space of time, the Leeds-based four-piece have emerged as one of the UK’s most electrifying live propositions, refining their explosive performances through extensive touring across the UK and Europe.
Throughout the start of 2026, the band are releasing their newest EP, The Hedonist on EMI North label partner, Launchpad+:
