pop rock from washington, d.c.

β€œIt's the sound of smart musicians trying on the forms of the old days to make something a bit more nuanced and complex than what we had on offer in the early Sixties. And that's a long-winded way of saying, I loved this whole EP.”

β€” A Pessimist is Never Disappointed

β€œ[Your Ideal] is one of the best rock records of the year”

β€” New York Music Daily

β€œCinema Hearts Make a Good First Impression”

β€” Rolling Stone

β€œThe truth is that I hope Weinroth never stops singing about fabulously trivial things and looking at love through a warped, pop-music lens. Your Ideal is a record that’s cool and clean. In Weinroth’s expert hands it’s a hurricane of a sugar rush.”

β€” Slug Magazine

about cinema hearts

An ex-pageant queen fronts a rock band? Cinema Hearts has a pulsing passion for days gone by. It’s the sparkling indie rock project of Washington, D.C. singer-songwriter and former Miss America contender Caroline Weinroth, whose music captivates audiences around the world with playful lyricism, moody guitar riffs, retro song references, and dramatic pageantry. Backed by a powerful rhythm section, with Massimo Zaru-Roque on bass and Danny Ortiz on drums, Cinema Hearts presents a firecracker of a show. Following their 2024 SXSW tour, Rolling Stone picked Cinema Hearts as one of the best live acts to see.
