Our Latest Obsession: Hudson Taylor

hudson taylor

Before signing to Polydor Records, Hudson Taylor’s 2012 debut EP, Battles reached #1 in Ireland and #14 in the UK. Hudson Taylor got their start busking in Dublin and uploading their original songs and covers to YouTube. Just last year, an acoustic version of their song “Chasing Rubies” was featured in the movie “The Host.”

Harry and Alfie have tons of musical friends, like Lewis Watson, Gabrielle Aplin, and Orla Gartland. Just in case you wanted proof, here’s their cover of “Twist and Shout” from a few years back (I’m still a huge fan).

Their first full length album, Singing for Strangers, was released in Ireland last month, and will be available for purchase on March 23rd in the US.

Hudson Taylor's newest single, "World Without You."
