Hinds
Loose, sun-drenched garage rock defined by dual-vocal interplay and a charmingly unpolished energy. Perfect for road trips and basement parties.

Hinds sounds like the best kind of chaos. It is the sonic equivalent of a Polaroid photo taken at a party: slightly blurry, warm-toned, and capturing a moment of genuine joy. Their music is built on a foundation of jangling guitars and a rhythmic looseness that feels human and immediate, rather than clinical or over-rehearsed.
What truly sets them apart is the vocal dynamic between Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote. They don't just harmonize; they finish each other's sentences, shout over one another, and weave their voices together in a way that feels like a private conversation you've been invited to join. There is a defiant lack of polish that makes their garage-pop hooks feel earned and authentic.
Start with their debut, Leave Me Alone, to hear the raw energy that first put Madrid's indie scene on the global map. If you want something slightly more refined but just as spirited, jump to their 2024 return, Viva Hinds, which proves their chemistry is indestructible even as a duo.
Hinds is a Spanish indie rock band from Madrid, formed in 2011 by Carlotta Cosials (vocals, guitar) and Ana García Perrote (vocals, guitar). The original name of the band was Deers, but they changed it at the end of 2014 after a threat of legal action from the similarly named band The Dears. The group chose "Hinds", an English word of Germanic origin that means "does" or "female deers", as the new name of the band and officially implemented the name change on 7 January 2015.In 2014, Ade Martin (bass, backing vocals) and drummer Amber Grimbergen (drums) were added to the band and remained with the band until their departure in 2023. They have released four albums, one compilation LP, and numerous singles. Their first studio album, Leave Me Alone, was released on 8 January 2016, and their second studio album, I Don't Run, was released on 6 April 2018. The band's third studio album, The Prettiest Curse, was released on 5 June 2020. Their fourth studio album, Viva Hinds, their first album without Martin and Grimbergen, was released on 6 September 2024.
