Felix Hagan & the Family is a rock band from the UK known for their theatrical performances. The seven-member band has released one album and two EPs.

History[edit]

Front-man Felix Hagan and guitarist Tom Webber met at the University of Liverpool where they both studied music.[1] At university, they started recruiting fellow students and acquaintances for the band, and by 2012, the full seven-member band had formed.[4]

The band's first EP, "String Up the Entertainer", was released in 2013, and after sharing their music with singer Frank Turner, the band gained his public support.[5] This transitioned into the band's role as a supporting act for Turner during his 2016 tour.[2] There they played music from their first EP, as well as their latest 2015 release, "Kiss the Misfits."[6]

On 24 November 2017 they released their debut album, "Attention Seeker", with glam, pop, rock, and punk influences.[3] "Attention Seeker" topped out at number 6 on the iTunes rock chart,[6] and soon after, the band went on tour to support the Arkells in 2018.[7]

The band stated on their Instagram that they were back recording in the studio in February 2020. [8]
