Hurry is an American indie rock band that emerged from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2012, showcasing a vibrant blend of power pop and noise rock. Initially conceived as a solo project by principal songwriter Matt Scottoline, the band quickly evolved as he sought to express his musical creativity beyond his role as the bassist for emo revival band Everyone Everywhere. Scottoline’s early home recordings, released under the moniker “Hurry,” highlighted his unique songwriting process, characterized by a rapid and spontaneous approach to music creation.

As the project gained traction, Scottoline expanded the lineup, recruiting talented musicians including Joseph DeCarolis and Robert DeCarolis, which solidified the band’s dynamic sound. Their debut album, “Everything/Nothing,” released through Hot Green Records, featured the catchy single “Oh Whitney,” accompanied by a playful music video that showcased the band’s quirky personality. This initial success laid the groundwork for their subsequent albums, including “Guided Meditation” and “Every Little Thought,” both of which received critical acclaim and further established their presence in the indie rock scene.

In 2021, Hurry welcomed guitarist Justin Fox, marking a new chapter in their evolution with the release of “Fake Ideas.” This album demonstrated their growth as a quartet, blending their signature sound with fresh influences. Their latest project, “Don’t Look Back,” set to release in August 2023, promises to continue their trajectory of innovation and creativity.

Hurry’s music has resonated with audiences, earning placements in popular culture, including features in the FXX series “Man Seeking Woman” and Netflix’s “Special.” Their ability to craft infectious melodies while embracing a loud, energetic style has positioned them as a standout act in the indie rock landscape.
