Hinterland's music is best described as dream pop/shoegazing/new wave with soaring, ethereal vocals, and is currently released by Submerged Records.
Hinterland's second album The Picture Plane (released February 2006) spent three months in the Canadian college radio top 50.
Hinterland has shared the stage with artists such as Monade, the Album Leaf, Brendan Benson, Silversun Pickups, The Hermit, Paper Moon, and A Northern Chorus, and has performed across Canada, hitting cities such as Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, and Toronto.
Cameron McLellan left the band in the summer of 2006; his spot was filled by Robb Johannes.
In 2008, Hinterland members John Lucas and Michaela Galloway started a new project called The Hope Slide.
