The Zutons are are a rock band from from the United Kingdom, comprised of David McCabe (Lead Vocalist), Boyan Chowdhury (Lead Guitar), Abi Harding (Saxophone), Sean Payne (Drums and Percussion) and Russell Pritchard (Bass guitar).

The Zutons' debut album, released in 2004, was ''Who Killed The Zutons?'' and reached number 13 in the UK album chart. It was critically acclaimed and was a nominee for the 2004 Mercury Music Prize. The band themselves were nominated for the British Breakthrough Act award at the 2005 Brit Awards.
