Hornet have just announced UK dates, a new single and are set to release a deluxe edition of our debut album 'Skies Are Falling'.

"Hornet plays riffs that make you want to ride a motorbike down a staircase. Riffs that make you want to pour whisky onto your cereal. Riffs that make Hornet a lot of fun." Kerrang! Magazine

"The music is excellent and the influences of rock and metal are obvious. 'Bite Down' and 'Storm The Gates' are the tracks to listen to." Big Cheese Magazine

"Skies Are Falling is solid. It shunts like a bastard, chiming perfectly with the rhythm of a hot diesel engine set to cruise control." Powerplay Magazine

"'Skies Are Falling' packs a punch of metal with a lighter twist. There's an element of punk here too, which makes this band more modern and unique than some of their metal compatriots." Fireworks Magazine

Hornet are relentless. With more attitude than your average band and fuelled by aggression; Hornet mix rock, punk and metal together to create their individual brand of heavy music. Easily identified by their elaborate live show which features pyrotechnics, smoke, dry ice, confetti cannons, stage props and an impressive sound and lighting show, Hornet have played to audiences across the UK and Europe over 220 times including multiple sold out, headline shows at The Borderline, The Barfly, Upstairs at The Garage and The Intrepid Fox as well as supporting Kobra and the Lotus.

The band is set to release a deluxe edition of their debut album 'Skies Are Falling' which features two extra songs, new artwork, lyrics and personal thank-yous from each band member. Fans can pre-order the deluxe edition from www.officialhornet.com from 27th January or from iTunes on 10th March.
