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, David Bowie, The Beach Boys, The Pixies), Hindershot boasts a repertoire of post-whatever jams you can 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, political unrest), songwriter Stuart Confer weaves a complex, mythologized autobiography through details and metaphor. The immediacy, earnestness and breathless energy of punk rock still grin through, missing teeth and all.

Kissing Party has perfected what pop music should be: infectious two-minute songs that stick in the mind like glue. They are known for their jangly guitars, raucous live shows, and nearly perfect blend of boy/girl vocals.

Kissing Party arrived on the Denver scene with their first official release, Rediscover Lovers. The album drew high praise and earned them 3rd best album in the Denver Post for 2007. National press began to take notice with release of their second album, The Hate Album. Kissing Party was featured in Filter magazine, Three Imaginary Girls, and topped many college radio stations' lists for best album. Over the past couple of years, Kissing Party has spent the majority of their time touring in support of "The Hate Album" which has taken them cross country, from Boston to Seattle. The band finally took a break this year and went into the studio to record their most promising release to date, "Wasters Wall."

"In the same way the world has embraced the work of great thinkers like Plato, Socrates, Tolstoy and Tolkien, the world will soon respect the work of I Sank Molly Brown. Their labor and success in the fields of metaphysics, numerology, quantam mechanics and massage has been unparalelled in their generation and even their species. Indeed, they could have stopped with their highly respected thesi, 'The hermanutic contextualization of Geddy Lee for the layman' and 'A jugga-wugga observed', but (praise be) no! they continue on, even into this late hour, primitive tools in their hands, improving the human world with their song of science and passion."
