Latest News
Following the release of their second self-funded album in the late Summer of 2010, Hip Route are starting 2011 as they finished 2010 - with relentless gigging!
As always it promises to be a busy year touring Devon and Cornwall, as the band's laid back groove continues to be appreciated by the surfing fraternity.
The band are looking to spread out more this year though and head into the North of the country, as well as turning attentions to the continent where possible.
