Hindershot lands track on Delta in-flight radio
Although Hindershot’s debut 7-inch won’t be available to fans until Feb. 26, when it’s unveiled at a release show at Hi-Dive, air passengers who left their iPods at home will get an advance taste of the Denver band’s recorded material starting next week. Noise Pop Records selected the band’s “Rain Fare” for inclusion on Delta Airlines’ indie-rock, in-flight radio station. Although inclusion on airplane-radio programming theoretically gives Hindershot the chance to be heard by thousands of bored air travelers, the band’s taking its achievement with a grain of salt—or a tablet of Dramamine.
“We’re in the Sky Magazine, kind of by the barf bag in the back of the seat. We’re still not sure how big of a deal it is,” singer-guitarist Stuart Confer says, laughing. “Barf bag or not, it’s exposure. That’s the name of the game.”
You don’t have to book a flight to preview “Rain Fare.” The A.V. Club has a stream of the track below. Just pour yourself a half can of soda and talk one of your coworkers into providing an invasive TSA-style security check, and you’ll enjoy all the perks of air travel without having to leave the ground.
