Don't Die Cindy

Don't Die Cindy emerges from Florida's thriving underground scene with a popular sound that marries the energy of hardcore with the atmospheric intensity of indie rock. Bridging the musical gaps between Cave In, Jimmy Eat World, and Radiohead, Don't Die Cindy's impassioned vocals and chiming guitar delays give way to wrecking ball choruses. "Most Imperfect Skies" incorporates Don't Die Cindy's myriad influences seamlessly with their material, from the bone-crushing chaos of "Wrong Side of Town" to the unflinching vulnerability of "Unclothed & Honest". Don't Die Cindy frontman Patrick Hosey muses, "This record is about trying to find your way to the truth. It's about lying in bed at night wondering if God is real or not; wondering how you find love; wondering what you're even here on Earth for. You could say I struggle with a lot of things and the songs get the best of me." Featuring members of Embraced, Atonal Spiral, and Son of Ray, Don't Die Cindy took their name from a documentary about the September 11th attacks. Comprised of Patrick Hosey (Vocals, Guitars & Keyboards), Jonathan Hoffman (Guitars), Ryan Nelson (Bass), and Steven Kopacz (Drums), Don't Die Cindy has worked hard to get to this point, playing underground venues off the beaten path and building a Myspace fanbase of over 50,000 fans with over 200 shows over the last 12 months. Patrick Hosey says, "I have been playing shows since I was 13. I'm 22 now. I had never been on an airplane before until the label flew us to Seattle to record, and I got to fly on that airplane because of my band. It's been like a dream. So far, none of it seems real."
