WXPN Artist to Watch (June 2006)

The Hiders

The Hiders

The Hiders hail from Cincinnati and there's a good reason why they list Neil Young on their MySpace page as the first of many influences on their new album, Valentine.

Young's spirit permeates throughout their songs, but there's also a musically robust Americana style going on that recalls such genre classics as Uncle Tupelo, Sparklehorse, Emmylou Harris and The Band. The Hiders also make a strong companion to current rustic rock artists such as Band Of Horses and My Morning Jacket.

The Hiders

The band is fronted by Cincinnati music veteran, singer/songwriter/guitarist Bill Alletzhauser who is a former member of Ohio alt-country group The Ass Ponys. Anchored by Beth Harris's sweet yet aching harmonies, The Hider's debut 'Valentine' balances slow-burning love songs and full on rockers with mesmerizing results.
