In the organizer's words:

THORNHILL - Special Guest: Graphic Nature, Love Is Noise

If you close your eyes and listen to one of the songs, Thornhill's epic second album transports the listener into the world of classic Hollywood. Riding a creative wave fueled by their love of the glam and charm of the style, Jacob Charlton (vocals/lyrics) and Ethan McCann (guitar/production) of Thornhill have created a vibrant anthology of stories set to a dynamic, cinema-inspired score with Heroine: "Arkangel' was the first song that really got the writing process rolling," says Ethan of his creative dry spell. "As soon as I finished the intro, first verse and chorus, I realized that all these parts created a certain mood and set of images in my mind.... reminded me of the Buffy opening credits with that super late 90s, cheesy, glossy movie look.

"I ended up putting the demo I had over a video of the opening credits and I found that combining it with those images really helped me develop the song because I could treat it almost like writing a movie score. "What began as an experimental way to crack 'Arkangel' soon sparked a creative avalanche for Ethan, who - suddenly speaking the same language as the already cinema-savvy Jacob - began treating each track in a way he'd never considered before: as if he were writing for a movie. With that, Heroine was born.

Listeners will no doubt hear the moody and anthemic 'Varsity Hearts' and imagine scenes from 'She's All That', and be transported to the world of James Bond amid the spy-like breakdowns of 'Casanova'. Elsewhere, the album references the sounds and styles of some Hollywood classics such as Singing In The Rain, American Beauty and Baz Luhrmann's epic Romeo & Juliet.
