Deers change band name to Hinds

Madrid four-piece Deers have changed their band name to Hinds.

The band posted an extensive, hand-written note (see below) on their Facebook explaining the change and why everything is going to be ok.

“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,” they explained.

2015 already looks like being a big year for the Spanish group, who broke through in 2014 with two singles on Lucky Number Music / Mom + Pop: ‘DEMO’ and ‘BARN’.

The band have scheduled several dates for the beginning of next year - they’re also confirmed to play next year’s SXSW.
