The Hunna’s Top 5 Most Influential Albums
Whenever a band releases a new album, they’re almost always asked about what albums influenced them during the writing process and just in general. So instead of asking only one member of the band to list those albums on a whim, we got the scoop from all of the members of The Hunna. Check out their picks below and be sure to grab a copy of their brand new album, 100, which releases on August 26th!
Drake – Views
This album is big for me. Drake is my hero! The way he delivers his lines is like no other– what he speaks about, also the production by 40 on all of their records has always been something I admire greatly and feel like I’ve learnt a lot myself from them. This latest record from them I feel is their best yet in terms of all those things, especially showing new sides/visions. It totally captivates me every time. — Ryan Potter (vocals)
This album is something special. From start to finish, it takes you on a journey and that’s what I personally expect from an album. Every track is a banger and still to this day, timeless. For years, Tino & I have always said when we get the opportunity to record an album it needs to be a master piece like this one. It’s the album benchmark that inspires us to be the best we can be, 100 Hot Fuss. —Dan Dorney (guitar)
The music within this album is unreal! Every time I give it a listen, I always walk away thinking and feeling something different. I have always looked up to this band in every way. Everything they do is magic and the attitude they deliver it in is rad. —Dan Dorney
Probably one of the most influential albums of this generation. Lyrically, Kendrick is at the top of his game in this album, giving you an insight into his life and experiences. His flow throughout is technically very impressive. It introduced me to a new world of music, influencing me musically with the old school feel, hearing jazz and funk within the album but with a new modern twist throughout. For me, he’s a very important figure especially for the youth today and feel like this album can relate to anyone going through tough times whilst opening your mind up to the environment he grew up in and struggles that he’s faced. —Jermaine Angin (bass)
Blink 182 – Enema of the State
Start to finish, it was a classic LIT punk album that inspired me to drum in my teens. I used to play covers of “What’s My Age Again?” and “Adam’s Song” in my first ever band. Travis is a G! Big up, Blink. —Jack Metcalfe (drums)
