Batten down the hatches - there's a storm coming.

Nineties indie-rockers Hurricane#1 are back!



After battling cancer, front man Alex Lowe has emerged triumphant - well, they do say only the strongest will survive - and resurrected his old band, but with a brand new line up. This time around, former boxer Lowe has been joined by Brazilian brothers Carlo and Lucas Mariani on guitar and bass, and Chris Campbell on drums.



Says Lowe: "I'm really excited about the new line up - there is a real buzz about it and I can't wait to get back on the road in 2015. It's going to be fun. It's great to be back with such a gifted band. It's been a tough couple of years, but I've never been more convinced that this is the time for Hurricane#1. Bring it on!"



Signed to Creation Records by maverick music mogul Alan McGee in 1996,

Hurricane#1 had five Top 40 hit singles, including Step Into My

World, Just Another Illusion and Chain Reaction, and released two studio albums.



Their self-titled, debut long-player reached number 11 in 1997 - they followed it up with Only The Strongest Will Survive two years later - the title track hit number 19 in the UK singles chart.



Their anthemic sound was influenced by classic ‘6os rock & roll, soul and country-rock, but with a contemporary edge - superstar DJ Paul Oakenfold remixed their debut single and UNKLE's James Lavelle revamped Only The Strongest Will Survive.



Formed by ex-Ride guitarist /vocalist Andy Bell, who went on to join Oasis and Beady Eye, Hurricane#1's original line up was completed by Lowe (vocals & guitar), bassist Will Pepper and drummer Gareth Farmer. The band split up in 1999. A double disc compilation album of their songs was released in 2004, entitled Step Into My World.
