Geelong’s Missing Hours are a local success story, but now they’re set to share their music with the rest of the country. The brother-sister duo will release their self-titled debut album on November 1, and later that month they’ll take their brand new tracks on the road.
Emma and Ant Hewitt have been playing and writing their own music for the last decade. Last year they decided to join forces, creating a unique sound inspired by the likes of Garbage, Evanescence, and Fiona Apple.
“I’d been playing guitar for a couple of years, and was at that point of becoming bored with playing other peoples’ songs, and having that feeling you wanted to say or express something,” Ant explained.
This album certainly achieves that! You can give it a listen when it’s released on November 1, ahead of Missing Hours’ national tour with special guests Avalon Drive. Tickets are on sale now for all shows through Moshtix.
