Hello, everyone. I'm new to the list, and I thought I'd get the shameless self-promotion out of the way right off the bat. I play in a band called Hinterland. We have been compared to everything from the Cocteau Twins to the Sundays to the Jesus and Mary Chain. Needless to say, we are big 4AD fans, so I thought members of this list might dig our stuff. We are just finishing up work on our first full-length album and seeking a label to put it out. Check us out at http://www.hinterland.bc.ca and let me know what you think! Here's a bit of a recent review: "Hinterland produces a cerebral sound that is more neuron-stimulating than it is adrenaline-pumping....Every taste made my ears increasingly more hungry. Michaela Galloway's vocals are sultry and soaring, always with a kind of kick-your-ass toughness that hovers somewhere between Bjork and Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins. The band uses a lot of echo effects and additional synthetic noises to create a really lush and atmospheric mood. The songs burn like candles in a dark room; they're not overpowering but they are hypnotic enough that you cannot turn away." (Chris LaVigne, VancouverIndie.com)
