About The Zutons

The Zutons are an English indie rock band formed in Liverpool, in 2002. The band currently consists of Dave McCabe (vocals, guitar), Abi Harding (saxophone), Jay Lewis (guitar), Neil Bradley (keyboards) and Tim Cunningham (bass). The band's debut album, Who Killed...... The Zutons?, was released in April 2004. With the release of their second studio album, Tired of Hanging Around (2006), the band achieved UK chart success with the singles, "Why Won't You Give Me Your Love?" and "Valerie", both of which reached number 9 on the UK Singles Chart. Founding guitarist Boyan Chowdhury left the band in 2007 and was replaced by Paul Molloy for their third studio album, You Can Do Anything, which was released in June 2008. The band quietly disbanded the following year in 2009, and briefly reunited in 2016 for a one-off performance with Chowdhury, billed as "probably [their] last ever performance" in remembrance of their friend, actor and former Tramp Attack frontman, Kristian Ealey. In November 2018, the band announced a full reunion tour to commemorate and perform their debut album, with Jay Lewis of Cast and The La's replacing founding bass guitarist Russell Pritchard. Following the tour's completion, the band remained together, with Chowdhury eventually departing again in 2022. After a sixteen-year gap between studio albums, the band released their fourth studio album, The Big Decider, in April 2024. The album was produced by Nile Rodgers, Ian Broudie of the Lightning Seeds, and drummer Sean Payne. It reached number seven on the UK Albums Chart.
