The banner hung up on stage said it all: “Hi, we’re Hinds, and we came here to rock.” Hailing from Madrid, the garage rock quartet enlisted producer Gordon Raphael (known for producing the first and second Strokes albums) for their sophomore album I Don’t Run. With that production muscle behind them, the quartet felt more empowered to no longer write about being ‘one of the guys’ with songs like “Tester” confronting cheating boyfriends, and “Linda” mourning the loss of true love in a relationship. Thankfully, what didn't change was their bubbly and raucous garage rock sound.
