The Lilac Hour

The Lilac Hour are a London-based indie rock band. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Jake McCollum, lead guitarist Matt Davies-Saunders, bassist James Katz and drummer Matt Volpato combine to produce the kind of energetic riffs and intricate melodies which pay homage to artists as diverse as Sam Fender, Declan McKenna, Nothing But Thieves and Blossoms.

The band’s early demo tracks wracked up several thousand streams on Spotify and they released their eponymously named debut EP in September 2023. The band are now working on their follow up EP, which will release in the new year, with producer Tom Anderson at Kempston Street Studios.
