About Me

"HOOK-HEAVY ALT-ROCKERS GET RIGHT IN YOUR FACE" Kerrang!
"AWESOME, A GONZOID, BEHEMOTH OF A RIFF, STOMPING IT'S WAY THROUGH SOME DEMONIC SHOUTING - BEFORE THE ELASTIC, GROOVILICIOUS RIFFING OF THE CHORUS SLAMS IN - LIKE A FUNKIER HELMET!" www.subba-cultcha.com
"A JOLLY GOOD YOUNG BRITISH ROCK BAND" Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden & BBC 6 Music)
"WITH FULL THROTTLE ROCK SONGS A-PLENTY, CATCH THEM WHILE YOU CAN" The Fly
"Hinterland are a reincarnation of a golden age of indie, grunge rock. They are a resplendent hybrid of the Foo Fighters, Incubus and the Pixies. Perhaps what Feeder could have sounded like if they had got to know Josh Homme.
Their hard but charming melodies are just a component of Hinterlands interstellar appeal; you find yourself thrumbing along, despite not having heard the album before, and wondering why you havent heard it before now. Each song is as grand as it is catchy.
Like many great events, the journey is far too brief. The vocals are a blend of Trent Reznor and Chris Cornell. The final product is a voice that possesses as much aural magnetism as The Mars Volta. A fresh sound that is at the same time rich in legacy. Electrifying guitar mixed with rasping vocals. To hear this album close quarters is divine, but somehow the reaction is larger than expected. In other words, this is an undiscovered rock gem. Perhaps this is yet to come for Hinterland. After all, it only seems fair Simply decadent. Simian is a milestone of an album. " www.Moshmonkey.com

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/12/2005
Band Website: hinterlandrock.com
Band Members:
Darren C - Guitars and vocals

Gavin T - Bass and vocals

Lee W - Drums and no vocals

Influences: A tremendous amount of bands that you know and love and some that you don't know and should love. We'll point you in the right direction.

"Naa-Naa-Naa, Nu-Naa-Naa, Nu-Naa-Naa! Hinterland have an anthem on their hands. The rest of the set is brilliant, don't get me wrong, brutal and harmonic by turns, but My Big Mouth is a classic. Not in a "good song by a little band" sort of way. It's a classic of Smells Like Teen Spirit, Song 2, Enter Sandman proportions. In the future teenage bands will agonize over whether they should cover it, or whether that would be sacrilege."
Sandman Sheffield Feb 2006

Sounds Like: QOTSA, The Pixies, Soundgarden - but British.Also, think 3 Colours Red, Reuben, Groop Dogdrill, Mclusky, a load of other British Bands and a few others as well.
It's all about the songs, maaaaaaaaaan.
Hinterland are proud to be endorsed by the following companies:
