Hundredth is an American rock band from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina formed in 2008 led by singer and songwriter Chadwick Johnson.
[2] The band started out playing melodic hardcore that morphed into indie rock by the release of the 2017 album Rare.
The first single from that album, "Live Today"[7] was released on Mediaskare Record's YouTube channel on July 22, 2011.
[5] In early 2016, the band parted ways with guitarist Blake Hardman and welcomed back original member Alex Blackwell.
[12] It featured a stylistic change for the band, moving away from their established melodic hardcore sound and into shoegaze and indie rock.
[14] Hundredth was praised to be “well on their way into the indie pantheon of impenetrable rock acts” by Alternative Press.
[3] In late 2017 vocalist/guitarist Chadwick Johnson announced a solo project Pure Violet[15] with the premiere of two singles “Garden” and “Numb” on Stereogum.
On May 22, the single "Whatever" premiered on Stereogum, who said of the track: "Befitting its influences, the song’s hook is beyond catchy, managing to land with absolute grace in the echo-drenched, reverb-soaked space.
