The One Hundred is an English crossover band from London, combining elements of metalcore, punk, grime, rap and electronics.
Initially the brainchild of vocalist Jacob Field and guitarist Tim Hider, The One Hundred began life as a writing/production project with neither member intending on performing the songs live themselves.
As the songs developed it became apparent that there were no groups in existence that inhabited this specific sphere of music and accordingly the writing project became a band.
Phil Kneller was recruited on bass, having formerly played alongside Field and Hider in metalcore outfit Collapse The Control, and in late 2013 Joe Balchin joined on drums.
[8] "Black Widow" was premiered on BBC Radio 1, Their debut EP Subculture was released digitally through Australian label UNFD.
Following the reviews received for the EP, The One Hundred went on to tour the United Kingdom with Papa Roach in March 2015 ahead of playing at Download Festival.
In his positive review, Luke Morton of Metal Hammer described the release as "full of rip roaring battle cries".
