The Muscle Club (2008-2010)
Hitt was involved in a band based in London called The Muscle Club which involved Michael Bateson Hill, Ceri Jones, John Hayward and Hitt.
Drowners (2011-present)
Drowners was created after Hitt moved to New York in order to further pursue his career in modelling. In an interview Hitt said, "I moved to New York two years ago and met all these boys through boozing with them, basically.
We found out that we all played instruments. We all have a common interest in rock "n roll music and then could go off on our other tangents." The band name was created when Justin Young called Hitt asking if he had a band together and if he wanted to open for his band The Vaccines which had skyrocketed in success rather quickly.
The band had not had a name then and Hitt had been listening to The Drowners by Suede when he picked the name.
Hitt described his lyrics as "miserable to an upbeat danceable tune".
