The Los Angeles-based unit, which has drawn comparisons to artists like Of Monsters and Men, Smallpools, and Passion Pit, wasted little time in getting their soulful and anthemic blend of arena-sized alt-pop and melodic folk-rock into the ears of the general public. Their debut single, "Keep Together," was championed by KCRW, which helped the band sell out their debut show at the Troubadour a week in advance. Appearances at SXSW and Conan O'Brien's late show helped further establish the group as a band to watch, and in 2013 they issued an eponymous debut EP via A&M/Octone. Hunter Hunted's debut studio long player, Ready for You, dropped in July 2015. ~ James Christopher Monger
