Music

Press


"Smartpunk"

"Undeniable hooks, soaring choruses, and driving anthems have garnered THE HINT industry attention and critical praise, and top A&R sites are watching closely. This band is consistently a step ahead of the pack." - smartpunk.com


"Kings of A&R"

"The Maryland-based act could hang in the same crowd as Jimmy Eat World and Weezer." - Dean, KOAR


"The Daily Chorus"

"Timeless music that can be as catchy as a single or as moody as something The Cure would release. I'm expecting big things from this band. Big things." - Tim Towner


"DCist"

"Experiencing THE HINT is like tossing back that late night Jager shot just as Journey’s "Don’t Stop Believin’" streams through...sending a new wave of energy and passion through the crowd...the view from the balcony of the swaying/dancing masses below demonstrated their charm and ability to win over the audience." - Chris Snyder


"BMI"

"THE HINT mesmerize audiences with dreamy lyrics, sweet harmonies and infectious hooks. Numerous EP’s and demos of the band eagerly float through underground hands as the boys hone in on their sound and build on an increasingly loyal fan base. The young group's newest material offers sugar-laced melodies capped off with a defiant rock punch." - bmi.com


"XM Radio"

"These guys are set to Rock the World!"
- Billy Zero


"SXSW Festival"

"Independents THE HINT are building their own story on tour and online. 'Only the music and fans matter,' insists the internationally touring band. Releasing singles on the web, the quartet has reached the Warped Tour, radio, tops of Purevolume and Myspace, the US and UK. With one van and a handful of plane tickets, they will become indie-pop's 'American Band in London.'"

"UK Show Review"

"A band to keep an eye on."
- TW Forum


"American University"

"Harmonious vocals, sweet lyrics." - The Eagle


"Asylum Magazine"

"With creative and persistent self-promotion, a flare for the dramatic, and tunes polished to a T, [THE HINT] are making sure you know who they are."
- Julie Davis

Bio

It's fitting that THE HINT has successfully toured both the States and the UK: this fiercely independent band are as much British pop as American rock, as much Duran Duran and The Cure as Weezer and Jimmy Eat World.

This is a band to watch -- on their own, they've sold 12,000 CD's along with thousands of downloads on iTunes and a new album in Japan. THE HINT has already sold out their hometown (800-capacity) five times, and shared the stage in front of 3,000 with the likes of Taking Back Sunday, Plain White T's, Good Charlotte, All Time Low, The Matches and Cartel, crisscrossing the States.

Now armed with the support of influential voices like MTV and Alternative Press, and a new release from the creators of Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, and The Killers, THE HINT are set for a breakout year.

"Timeless music that can be as catchy as a single or as moody as something The Cure would release. I'm expecting big things from this band." - Tim Towner, CEO of Smartpunk
