(Deers) (Hinds)

Spanish guitar-pop foursome Deers are no more. Well, sort of. They're now sailing under a new flag: Hinds.

In a statement released on Facebook explaining the change, Hinds said:

"this is sadly the most official post we've ever made: we have to change our name.
we mean... they forced us to. we received an email from a canadian lawyer saying that our name created confusion with his band's name. and that name is not even deers (LOL). We tried our best, really, but we have no choice. so..

OKAY!!!! LET'S TAKE THIS WITH A SMILE : ) : )!!
deers are now...HINDS!! (charannn!!)

And we are still the same people, we are even the same animal!! UNBELIEVABLE! !!
We don't usually ask you guys for anything but PLEASE you'd really make this easier for us if you could share this amazing info.
LET'S HAVE AN AMAZING 2015!

sorry and thank you, HINDS 8)

PS: pppppfff... we screwed it up with the FB page two weeks ago.. sorry for the confusion haha

see you on tour ☮!!"

The band are one of many that we're tipping for huge things this year; read Best Fit Editor Paul Bridgewater's in-depth interview with them here.

They're also playing a now sold out show at London's Electrowerkz on 22 January, hosted by us and Parallel Lines.
