Alasdair MacKenzie, Chris Haley, and Liz Kantor formed Hush Club after finding each other in college.  Now, they are based in Somerville, MA, making lush, melodic, and propulsive indie rock that examines the nuances of our shared human experience.  WBUR describes Hush Club’s music as “groovy, swaying tunes with catchy guitar riffs and melodies about falling in and out of love.”  Their latest single, “Violet Cure,” explores the liberation and sensual thrill of new love over an irresistible beat.

In 2024, Hush Club sold out headlining shows at the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA and Brighton Music Hall in Boston, MA and toured the northeastern US. The band has been featured twice in The Boston Globe and been nominated twice for the Boston Music Awards (Album/EP of the Year and Folk Artist of the Year). Hush Club has opened for national and international touring acts including Neon Trees, Melt, Juice, Hermitage Green, French Cassettes, and Will Leet (of Sammy Rae & the Friends), and the band’s music has been praised by Under the Radar, Glide Magazine, Vanyaland, and Boston Hassle, in addition to the WBUR writeup quoted above.  Fingerprints & Stains also received extensive airplay on college radio, charting as the #5 debut on the NACC 200 in its first week and staying on the chart for three weeks.

Press highlights

  • “For Hush Club, there’s an art to simplicity. The indie trio, based out of Somerville, writes groovy, swaying tunes with catchy guitar riffs and melodies about falling in and out of love.”

  • “[Hush Club’s album] Fingerprints & Stains…explores spaces ranging from intimate to celestial, evoking honest confessions and wide expanses as it unfurls in waves of dreamy pop psychedelia.”

    "Hush Club creates dreamlike…indie pop...the band takes ears on an intimate journey of musical imagery and reflective melodies."

    “Each [track] offer[s] multiple layers of emotion that feel orchestral, with pockets of twang, indie-pop, and shoegaze intertwined without one overpowering the other. There’s a lot to digest…but it all adds up to a certain mood that Hush Club are claiming as their own.”

    “Fingerprints & Stains showcases Hush Club’s encompassing yet gentle sound; it’s music from the Milky Way…The compositions are musically simple but emotionally rich, eliciting introspective thoughts and strong feelings even when no words are sung.”
