Hillman Minx was a British alternative pop band active in the late 1990s, signed to Mercury Records. The group featured members Beatrice and Malcolm Doherty, and their sound combined melodic guitar pop with introspective lyrics and a touch of indie melancholy. Their debut single I've Had Enough was released in 1998 and reached No. 72 on the UK Singles Chart, earning them a brief moment of national attention. The follow-up single Heavens Above was also released that year, showcasing their knack for atmospheric arrangements and emotionally resonant songwriting.
The band was championed by BBC Radio 1’s Mark Radcliffe, who made I've Had Enough his Record of the Week for three consecutive weeks. Despite early promise and plans for a full-length album, Hillman Minx’s career was short-lived, and their self-titled album never materialised. Their work remains a cult favourite among fans of late ’90s British indie pop, and their singles are still sought after by collectors. Though their time in the spotlight was brief, Hillman Minx left behind a small but memorable discography that captured the mood of a transitional moment in UK music.
