Biography

Who Killed…… The Zutons? balanced macabre titles with singalong glue.

Why Won't You Give Me Your Love? became a regional radio staple with national legs.

Abi Harding’s sax adds carny colour distinct from guitar-band peers.

Lossless streams keep sax reed noise, room slap, and gang shout backs.

The Zutons grew out of the Liverpool scene with Dave McCabe, Boyan Chowdhury, Sean Payne, Abi Harding, and Russell Pritchard. Who Killed…… The Zutons? (2004) included Pressure Point, Don’t Ever Think (Too Much), and Valerie, which later became a hit for Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse.

Tired of Hanging Around (2006) and You Can Do Anything (2008) followed. The band split in 2009 and returned later.
