Hinds

Spanish group Hinds punctuate their brand of pop, which started off in the garage and took on more influences from the pop world as they evolved, with shouted vocals, joyous camaraderie, and loads of rambunctious energy. They started off their career as a garage rock band whose debut album, 2016's Leave Me Alone, brought a giddy, sometimes ramshackle, sound to the world. Further records refined that approach with slicker production and more-focused songcraft, and on the quartet's third long-player, 2010's The Prettiest Curse, they dipped their toes into the edge of the pop mainstream. By the time of 2024's VIVA HINDS, they had veered back toward a less glossy sound while still being happily poppy at their bouncy, punky core.
