About

Formed in 2018 as a natural expansion of Chris Hornsby’s solo work, Modern Hinterland has since released three records, merging Folk, Americana and Indie to develop a distinct sound of their own. 

Championed by the likes of Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music, BBC 6 Music Recommends, BBC Introducing North East and Radio X (John Kennedy) the band bonded over a mutual love of big choruses, sharp hooks and experimental interludes, creating a sonic melting pot with songs rich in storytelling.

Their last album, ‘Diving Bell’ was released on Label Fandango in January 2021. The four-piece, now with a refreshed line-up, are back on the road, with new music planned for 2023.
