Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Just imagine, for a moment, this perfect travel situation: As you settle into the comfiest aisle seat with the most leg room on the plane and crack open a frosty beverage, you slide on some headphones and enjoy the sweetness of Hindershot's "Rain Fare." Well, imagine no longer: For the entire month of February, the Hindershot track will be featured on the Sonicbids + Noise Pop Indie Showcase channel on select Delta Airlines flights.
Applying through Sonicbids, all tracks were considered by Noise Pop Records and then filtered on to the airline for playlist consideration. "We signed up for Sonicbids a few months ago and were kinda intrigued by the whole process," says Hindershot's Stuart Confer.
The best part? You don't have to book a flight to hear the jangly-pop gem, as it is now available for free download. If you like what you hear, check out Hindershot's Replacements-channeled pleaseantry tonight at the hi-dive, when they open for Airwaves.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
