53mph

Weaving a raw tapestry that gently nudges the boundaries of folk, country and indie sensibilities, resulting in a melding of catchy riffs with echoes of British punk-pop, and the unfiltered essence of Americana and indie rock.
53mph's music grabbed the attention of Fairmount Gas, who inked the band as their second signing, followed by nods of recognition from London's cult radio station XFM for the debut EP, 'Ivory Coast', a surprise A-listed hit upon its release. Reverberating across airwaves and gaining attention in the A&R offices of Europe and America, this EP showcased 53mph's knack for crafting infectious hooks and defiant choruses, earning a mention in the pages of Dazed and Confused magazine.
53mph has graced stages alongside iconoclastic figures like Miles Hunt, at London venues such as the Borderline and the Metro.
In 2003, lead singer Philip Hunt embarked on a journey to Italy, reshaping 53mph into a recording project that collaborated sporadically with longstanding members and various artists via platforms such as Joseph Gordon Levitt’s HitRecord.
53mph's music has found a home in advertising campaigns by Zappos, HitRecord/YouTube Originals, and a myriad of indie film projects. 53mph has been covertly dropping singles on streaming platforms and digital radio stations like WigWam, earning a coveted nomination for Best Folk Act in 2022.
