Hailing from Southend and London, the four-piece consist of unforgettable 24-year old frontman Lou Vainglorious, a singer songwriter with a talent to write catchy infectious indie-pop songs with an edge. Lou met double bassist Nick Pini after months of trawling myspace trying to find a double-bassist to create a new sound, the two bonded instantly. With Nick's ear for arrangement and Lou's songs, Hoodlums were born.. Soon after, Henry Tyler (Drums) and Martin Kolarides (Guitar) joined the band.
