The One Hundred are an English crossover band from London, combining elements of metal, punk, grime, rap and electronics. The band released their debut EP Subculture in 2014 on Australian independent label UNFD and have toured extensively across the United Kingdom as well as performing at major festivals such as Sonisphere, Download Festival and Reading and Leeds. In September 2016 the band announced via their social media that they had signed to Spinefarm Records, a division of Universal Music Group.
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. Balchin had previously played in notable Surrey band Open The Skies and prior to that in the band Fly This For Me alongside Hannah Greenwood who later went on to join the band Creeper.
In October 2013 the band launched their debut track "Breed". The track picked up early support from BBC Radio 1. Later, the band would go on to record a full session at Maida Vale Studios for the Radio 1 Rock Show. The band's second single "Kingsmen" followed in quick succession. The band went on to record a cover of Iggy Azalea's "Black Widow" in 2014. "Black Widow" was premiered on BBC Radio 1,
