The Hails Deliver a Dreamy Indie Rock Journey with What’s Your Motive.


What’s Your Motive is an exhilarating dive into The Hails' signature blend of shimmering melodies and introspective lyricism. With their Miami roots woven into every note, the album showcases the band's growth from college house jam sessions to polished festival headliners. From the punchy hooks to the lush sonic landscapes, each track is a testament to their evolving sound, cementing The Hails as one of indie rock's most captivating new forces. It's a must-listen that brings both emotional depth and undeniable groove.


From a series of chance encounters that were simply too perfect to be random, Robbie Kingsley, Franco Solari, Dylan McCue, Andre Escobar, and Zach Levy came together to form The Hails. What started as a few casual gigs in Miami’s underground high school music scene evolved into something much bigger during their time at the University of Florida. With their college house serving as a gritty but inspiring backdrop, the band honed their signature sound—one that now defines their unique, polished style.


After college, The Hails returned to their roots in Miami, a city that continues to influence their evolving sound. The shimmering singles “Younger” and “Stay” gave listeners a taste of their brilliance, followed by their breakout EP He Seems Upset (2020) and the lush follow-up Alive in Strange Ways (2021). These releases paved the way for their highly anticipated debut album What’s Your Motive, now making waves in the indie scene.


Their rise has been nothing short of electric, with festival performances at Governors Ball, III Points, and Okeechobee, along with sold-out headlining shows that have solidified their place as one of indie rock’s most exciting new bands. The Hails have also hit the road supporting acts like Quarters of Change, The Beaches, and The Moss, building a loyal fanbase that continues to grow with each performance.


About The Hails:

This Miami-born five-piece fuses a range of influences to create a refined indie rock sound that’s equal parts dreamy, dynamic, and deeply personal. From college house jam sessions to headlining stages across the country, The Hails have forged a path that’s all their own, and they’re just getting started. Keep an eye on them as they continue to carve out their place in the indie rock world with their debut album What’s Your Motive.
