Hindershot

about

Hindershot was founded on a simple premise: music, however challenging, should always be a good time. Despite poetic lyrics, unusual chord changes, complex harmonies, and an eclectic list of influences (Beck, T. Rex, Electric Light Orchestra, Blondie, The Beach Boys, Built to Spill), Hindershot boasts a repertoire of post-whatever jams you can actually dance to. With lyrical content ranging from the mundane and light-hearted (inhalers, insects, and oscillating fans) to the grandiose and grim (black holes, death, and men with guns during the Democratic National Convention), songwriter Stuart Confer weaves a complex, mythologized autobiography through details and metaphor. In another life, most of the group's members played in pop-punk bands (because when you grow up in a small town or suburb, that's just what you do), and while Hindershot is arguably a more mature, musically-intricate endeavor than any of its members' past efforts, the immediacy, earnestness and breathless energy of punk rock still grin through, missing teeth and all. Hindershot is Stuart Confer, Patrick Kelly, Lucas Johannes, Spencer Alred, Jesse Livingston, and John Fate.
