WXPN Artist to Watch (2006)
June 2006: 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
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.
