Belfast based indie pop 4 piece Hurdles have been creating slick guitar driven synth laced pop in the vein of Phoenix & Bombay Bicycle Club since November 2012. 

Hailing 3/4 from Northern Ireland (Niall Hanna, Eoin Bleeks and Thomas Bannon) and 1/4 from Bedford, England (Ross Haymes) they were brought together over a love of danceable indie, drawing on frontman Hanna's Irish trad background and tunings to give their music a truly unique sound. 

Their music has been heard by millions thanks to them being championed by the likes of BBC Radio 1's Jen & Ally, BBC 6 Music's Steve Lamacq and BBC Radio Ulster’s Across The Line and their fan-base continues to grow with each captivating performance.

After the release of their debut 4 track EP 'Where To Start' in October 2013 Hurdles toured relentlessly all over Ireland and the UK, including several main stage festival dates at the likes of Liverpool Sound City, Glasgowbury and Castlepalooza all whilst drawing the attention of bloggers and press, helping them to reach the final of the 2014 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition.

In November 2014 they released their latest single 'France' as part of the 'Scratch My Progress' Talent Development Programme run by the Oh Yeah Centre in Belfast. As part of the scheme they've received a host of mentoring from industry professionals and have had the chance to get their music to even more people. 'France' has been their most successful track to date, recorded at Start Together Studios in Belfast, it blends the smooth disco vibes of Daft Punk with Hurdles Irish twinged indie pop, praised by many and gaining the accolade of best Northern Ireland track of 2014 by music site Chordblossom.com.

We're Monica da Silva & Chad Alger, also known as Complicated Animals. We're a Brazilian-American duo based in California. Our music crosses styles, and we call our genre Indie Nova. Our EP In This Game features songs in English and Portuguese. Pop Matters called it "a 6 song masterpiece", and "the beginning of a new sound" 

Our songs have been featured in the movie Lady Bird, in a campaign for Tory Burch, in the Netflix movie The Last Summer, and in a Patron Tequila ad. The video for our cover of Times Like These by Foo Fighters, just got an Honorable Mention in the 2024 WideScreen Film & Music Festival.

Our new single Watcher (out on 08/09/2024), is inspired by our love for crime dramas and Nordic noir TV, and poses a question to humanity - are we ready to act on what we believe?

Here's more about it...

“I'd been thinking about there being two sides to everything, two opposing forces. Good and evil,” says singer Monica da Silva. “They are two sides of the same coin, but I want to imagine that good will prevail. That it's the more powerful force.”

Watcher started with a simple piano line that da Silva would play every time she would sit down at the piano. Producer and musician Chad Alger added drums and programming that swirl around the thematic, swelling melody, and seem almost woven into the plot, and entwined in the lyrics.

“We wanted the song to take on its own life”, says Alger. “Almost as if it were breathing on its own".
