Hinds is a Spanish indie rock band from Madrid, formed in 2011. The group currently performs as a duo consisting of Carlotta Cosials (vocals, guitar) and Ana García Perrote (vocals, guitar).[2] [3] The original name of the band was Deers, but they changed it at the end of 2014 after a threat of legal action from the similarly named band The Dears.[4] The group chose "Hinds", an English word of Germanic origin that means "does" or "female deers", as the new name of the band and officially implemented the name change on 7 January 2015.[5]

They have released four albums, one compilation LP, and numerous singles. Their first studio album, Leave Me Alone, was released on 8 January 2016, and their second studio album, I Don't Run, was released on 6 April 2018. The band's third studio album, The Prettiest Curse, was released on 5 June 2020.[6] Their fourth studio album, Viva Hinds, was released on 6 September 2024.[7]
