Band members leaving, recording contracts ending, and professional disputes with management are all just parts of life in the music industry. Where they might usually happen over the course of 10, maybe 20 years, Madrid's guitar-rock favourites Hinds experienced it within two years. Oh, and there was a pandemic on, just to top it off.

Like the proverbial phoenix, Ana Perrote and Carlotta Cosials have risen from the ashes in magnificent style, returning with their fourth album 'Viva Hinds!', out 6th September via Lucky Number Records.

It's a record that shapeshifts through a plethora of sub-genres, with their brand-new single 'Superstar' seeing the pair dive headfirst into punk-rock, creating a record full of fire, designed to ignite sparks and get you on your feet.

It's the latest in a string of singles that emphasise not only Ana and Carlotta's undoubted musical talent but also their ability to switch up their writing style and really play with the way that our subconscious works.
