Huttch has made some changes and come a long way over the past year and a half. Their new album is only a month or two away.

In the beginning of 2014 the band which was then called State Of Us released an album and moved to Toronto to meet contacts and share their music. Shortly after they arrived they dropped the fourth member of their band and changed their name to Huttch. The band is comprised of Sebastian Abt, lead vocals and guitar, Zack Vivier, bass and Robbie Cervi on drums.

“We left for Toronto in May 2014,” said Cervi. “We pushed ourselves and the album everywhere we could, talked to as many people as we could and played every show and just said yes to everything.”

With the dropping of the fourth member, the band’s sound changed as well. The band now has an Indie rock sound.

“When we switched to a three-piece our sound just changed a little bit naturally,” said Sebastian. “We wanted to produce songs that are just undeniable and that we can groove to every day.”

While in Toronto the band made some contacts with a producer at a random show they played and he is now helping produce their new album.

“After we met him we knew this is where the next anything was going to be,” said Cervi.

When the band moved back to Windsor at the end of 2014 they got a house together to promote themselves, practice and play some shows.

“We figure since we were going to be writing more and practicing for the new songs we were recording we might as well move out for a year and do some work save some money and play some house shows,” said Abt. “It was cool because we got to see people we wanted to see play in the basement.”

“We picked bands we were fans of and that we wanted to see play,” said Cervi.

“It was always a fun time, we will have memories of that house forever,” said Vivier.

The band just released their new music video on September 1, 2015 for their new song White Sheets. Within three weeks it had over 4000 views on YouTube.

“The whole theme we are going for is a lot of groovy blankets, like the ones that are on Robbie’s drums we decked out the whole house and had a lot of fun. We got free beer and ordered pizza,” said Abt.

“Everyone was happy to be there and happy to help,” said Cervi.

The band is in the process of finishing up the recording for their EP, which they are very excited to release.

“We want to try to put out a music video to every song that we can on the new EP,” said Abt.

Once the album is out Huttch wants to have a release show and book a tour for Ontario and maybe the East Coast as well.

“Once we get the copy we will setup the show right away,” said Abt.

Huttch continues to make changes and work hard as the album is almost finished.

“Opportunities come and you either grab them or say no and we have been saying yes to the right ones, said Cervi.
