High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hatcham Social are an English indie pop band who first met and formed in New Cross, London, and who have released a string of singles on indie labels since 2006, a debut album in 2009 and are currently active in a Pledge Campaign for the release of their second LP. With the debut album they made headway in the mainstream media, with The Guardian describing them as `irrestistible` and Tim Burgess (The Charlatans) calling them `a wonderful pop group with the world`s coolest drummer`. The band are named partially after the Hatcham Liberal club on Queens Road, Peckham, and the Old English word `Hatcham`, meaning `a clearing in the woods`. The Hatcham Liberal club was well known as `Hatcham Social` around the time the band formed. The area in which it lies was, in previous times, known as Hatcham. Their debut album You Dig The Tunnel, I`ll Hide The Soil was released in March 2009 in the UK.
