Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle are an alt-rock duo formed in Liverpool in the late 2010s. With their unique blend of alternative rock, folk, and dream pop influences, King Hannah has quickly gained a loyal following. Their hauntingly beautiful melodies and introspective lyrics captivate listeners, while their powerful performances leave audiences spellbound. Whether you're a fan of indie rock or simply appreciate great music, King Hannah is a must-listen.

City Slang is an independent German label founded by Christof Ellinghaus. Renowned for its eclectic roster, the label encompasses everything from rock to post-rock and electronic music.

With a diverse range of artists, City Slang has become known for its unique and innovative approach to music. From established acts to emerging talent, the label consistently delivers high-quality releases that push boundaries and defy genre conventions.

As a leading force in the industry, City Slang has been instrumental in shaping the sound of contemporary music. With their distinctive style and commitment to artistic integrity, they have garnered a loyal following of music enthusiasts worldwide.

King Hannah crafts a musical tapestry that seamlessly weaves between the serene depths of meditative pop and the expansive, sonorous landscapes brimming with darkness, wit, and wry humour. Merrick’s vocals, a smoky delight, imbue her words with profound weight and potency, complemented by the bluesy canvases Whittle masterfully paints beneath them. Their sound effortlessly transitions from moments of post-rock expansiveness to evoking the sensation of Springsteen straying onto a gritty side-street off his highway to freedom.

In recent times, the duo has graced stages alongside esteemed artists such as Kurt Vile, Thurston Moore, Kevin Morby, and DIIV, captivating audiences at festivals across Europe and North America including End of the Road, Green Man, Primavera Sound, and Fusion, among others. King Hannah’s accolades include being hailed as Stereogum’s Band to Watch, The Guardian’s Ones to Watch, Paste’s Best of What’s Next, and featured in DIY Magazine’s NEU segment, SPIN’s rising artists, and many more.
