Hinds
Status: Emerging
Why You Should Pay Attention: Hailing from Madrid, this foursome specializes in joyously clamorous indie rock that sounds inspired by debauched nights out that end with linked-arm sing-alongs. Hinds' debut full-length Leave Me Alone mashes together the fuzz of mid-Eighties crushed-out indie, the scuzz of garage rockers like Ty Segall and the sweet hooks of classic pop, then adds carefree girl-gang vocals and lots of attitude. Their unofficial video for the shambolic "San Diego" offers a hint at the chaos that will likely ensue during their live appearances.
