Premiere: The Hummingbirds – ‘Emma’

Breezily infectious songwriting from a hotly tipped young group...

The Hummingbirds make songs that designed to be heard, to be sung back to them by countless fans.

So far, they're succeeding. A recent nationwide tour included two sold out shows at London's Bush Hall, while the Liverpool kids are set to return to the capital tonight (May 26th) for a special album launch at the Old Queen's Head in Islington.

Before then, though, Clash has a special surprise for fans. 'Emma' matches a jaunty rhythm to that irresistible whistling melody line, the quintessential sense of Americana set against real Scouse wit.

Out on June 17th, it begins: “Emma please sit down, I have to tell you something that will really break your heart…”

Check out the video below.
