Hinds - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@ExceptedLemon]

the spectrum of vocals in harmonics combined with simple guitar riffs and some nice support from bass and drums is why i love listening to hinds (plus cause theyre cute n spanish

[@michael_v_m]

Great uncomplicated fun garage rock, brought with lots of enthusiasm. They make me smile all the time. Love their debut album. That's what music always should be! Can't wait to go see them at the end of the month in Brussels.

[@deloreanized]

Catchy tunes, fresh vibe, nice attitude on stage... way to go, HINTS!

[@rrledford4411]

[@rrledford4411]

Thanks to KEXP for the clean recording, up close camera work, and the crisply captured effervescense that is Hinds. This new band's music is so freshly unique sounding and especially inspiring, it makes me almost cry. I love their tempo changes. I love their vocal interplay, and I really love their lyrics → big word pictures from so few spoken, yet so much said. "There was lot of gin; there was lot of eyes on us" Like spotting a patch of fluorescent glowing mushrooms while taking a midnight walk in the deep, dark, dense and dreary forest of mostly mediocre music. Great music can still be simple sounding, since it mostly takes great spirit and artistic dedication, each of which Hinds has present in abundance. I caught them live here in Chicago a couple months ago and, just like Ex Hex band, they also delivered a boatload of energetic stage presence , tightly played songs, and just plain fun for us all. I can't wait 'till the new full album drops, and the next U.S. tour comes around.

The music is very joyful, it's playful and they are charismatic and look like they're having a lot of fun which makes it likable for me. I don't get all the people complaining about their guitar skills, it's not always about how complex the music is.

I love this band, the fun they make and transmit when they play. I have seen them live four times in London and love them to bits. As well as the joy and perfection in their performances they are really cool people..hanging out in the audience when the support band were playing. The tempo changes are definitely something other musicians could learn from...they are really "in tune" with each other.

[@AlternateJunkie]

Rock N Roll is about doing what you want not because you went on a singing show and someone told you that you were good, but because you believe in what you do. All Hinds did was make a record that they wanted to hear and see live. They're living the dream. In Rock N Roll, you don't need anyone's affirmation. Hinds knew that there were people in this world that would truly love their music regardless of what anyone told them. I stepped out and said 'Leave Me Alone' is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I don't want to hear "You must not know a lot about music!" Because music is subjective and I love the artists who are bold and fearless. I've already seen this band live once, and I'm looking forward to doing that again when they return to Los Angeles in the future. Stop saying "they suck on guitar, they're mediocre at what they do!" MEDIOCRE AT WHAT THEY DO?! Who the hell are you to judge them? It seems to me that they're having loads of fun and that means theyre doing it right

[@Velvet0Starship2013]

"It seems to me that they're having loads of fun and that means theyre doing it right" Uh, no, you forget about doing it right AND having loads of fun. People getting drunk at a party are having loads of fun... that doesn't mean that anybody wants to pay to see them do it. But would some people pay to see pretty girls get drunk at a party? Yes they would: I have answered my question regarding this band.

They're one of the most humble bands I've met & one of the most fun to see live.. Latest album - ' I don't run' has great reviews too. Best of luck to them on their journey. 👍

[@vincesmith6205]

Saw them early this year at the Hare and Hounds Kings Heath Birmingham. Loved them so going again on the 23/02/16 same venue . A great live band.

[@pauls6385]

I added "New for you" to my spotify playlist in june of 2018 and since then I find that hinds is a good band. I like that it's a girls only band, that its a bit messy and they don't seem to care too much about what others might think about their music (could be completely wrong here, just a feeling). A lot of their songs are catchy, I like it. Keep it up, senoritas!

[@brrehbock1]

These girls are fantastic! It's such a breath of fresh air compared to the packaged and overly perfect indie stuff that people record because it's easy to do. I think they made something that breaks away from the mundanity of an otherwise overdone genre. Also I love that they were like yeah we were drinking right before we came on air. Because doing your own thing is what rock n' roll is about. Also not sure where people are getting the "they don't know how to play" bs from, they know exactly what they're doing.

I really don't get all these negative comments. Bands like Shame and IDLES (who are both awesome) are worshipped for this style; messy guitars, imperfect vocals. Yet bands like Hinds are getting slaughtered for this style... Makes perfect sense...Fed up of this blatant sexism. Don't get me wrong, you have every right to not be into their music. However some of these comments are ridiculous. Garage/Lo-Fi is supposed to be messy, imperfect. The vocalists have character to their voices.

[@noahkillough2840]

Wow a lot of you guys in the comments seem like genuinely horrible people. I mean you do realize behind bands there are actual people with actual feelings, personally I was really stoked when I heard they would be on KEXP, especially considering the fact they are based all the way in Spain. If it's not your thing that's ok, just move on, but some of you are genuinely insulting, and that doesn't do anyone any good.

[@jorsmith07]

Yeah, some people are definitely insulting just to be insulting, but if people can't genuinely critique things, nobody would ever get better, unless they themselves saw room for improvement. Having the ability to receive someone else's criticism (who hasn't been part of it from the birth of the concept of the work) can really help introduce something you never considered or had some mental block about. All this being said, I saw this band open up live for Glass Animals in 2015, they were bad. Had a shitty attitude as well. They have this fun girl persona they push, and hop around on stage pretending to have a super blast like a bunch of cute innocent chicks that just like to have fun...then they are super full of themselves and expect everybody to take them super seriously, when their music, frankly, is low quality and low skill level. You can't play lower quality music with the persona "i'm just having fun" to excuse your lack of skill, then be upset when people refer to you as a "fun group of girls" rather than "deep, talented musicians". Frankly, these chicks take themselves too seriously for the amount of time and work they've put into their art. They are playing lofi to cover their garbage equipment and musical skill, then want to be taken seriously as artists. All this being said, flat out insulting people doesn't do anyone any good, but also defending someone against constructive criticism does less, if you can't take someone's opinion, you shouldn't be interacting with other human beings, because that is the function of language, to receive other perspectives and use them to adjust your own.

[@fracasopina2121]

[@dontleadmedry]

jordan, I agree with your point, although if you really put some thinking here you'll realize that the issue here isn't good critique. there are thousands of boy bands with the same level of musical and technical quality as them, bands that are "just for fun" and no one comes to their videos on youtube and takes the time to write 4 paragraphs listing all the points that lack something on their performance for their own sake of improvement. it's completely naive to think that. people are actually bothered because when a band isn't so good but get's so much attention that's normal if they are men, but if you're a girl you should learn how to do better right? who cares if they are not so good for your taste? people should go write good stuff about the artists they like and respect the artists they don't like. no one critiques bands in public for their sake, it's just for that personal satisfaction of disqualifying something. people are not doing this here and this should all be considered before putting critique in perspective here.

Comparing this band to The Libertines? You must be a troll. And this made me comment. Their style sounds kirsch for a native English speaker and calling this shambolic as the Libertines is like wtf? Have they ever made an album get to the top? I got Hinds album since they sound more artsy than other Spanish bands but naming the Libertines here is total trolling or you are a beta man trying to put girls in a pedestal. By the other side, Has Spain got any good catchy music making bands? While the girl with the long straight hair singing voice is pretty appealing to me, the other girl with the curly hair needs some vocal practice or lessons to increase her range and get melodically upbeat in whatever she’s trying to sing. Hope to attend their live concert if they ever come to Japan. Maybe many people hate that their marketing and networking is pretty good and well, but that makes these girls appear as smart and I’m not a hater like many other Spanish people commenting everywhere.
