din's latest recording is a three song demo, recorded in November and December of 2000, mainly in a spare bedroom near Irwindale. It was recently mixed and mastered and will be released once the artwork is complete. In the meantime, check out some clips!!!

Seven of the tracks are guitar/bass/drums electric rock. Three tracks are acoustic, including one track ("Ebbtide") with penny whistle by Katy Salvidge (Good Will Hunting soundtrack) and fiddle by Carl Stephenson of Beck and Forest for the Trees fame.

Here's some of what's been said about "GHV1" in the press:
Lately there has been a lack of truly great music...Then 'din' arrived and the world was right again. 'din' are a Californian three piece who blend elements of punk, pop, rock, alternative and even Celtic music into an astonishing little masterpiece of a debut that they modestly called 'Greatest Hits Volume One'...this is a genuinely excellent album, not just excellent songs, but as an album as well...
- Limeygit, IndieMonkey.com, Feb. '00
The wonderfully moody "A Modest Proposal" with its killer chorus, and "Long Slow Burn" are both certain radio hits if there was just a way of having them heard.
- Martin Brown, Live Magazine, Nov. '99
din are some intelligent lads taking a few chances with an alterna-pop approach...an admirable creation a step to the left of intelligent alterna-rock-pop.
- Bushman, No Cover Magazine, June '99
...a nice sort of low-fi ruckus...the cacophony is tempered with catchy rhythms, so it all goes down smoothly...it should appeal to anyone who likes indie rock.
- Carrie Villines, Campus Circle Magazine, May '99
...darn nice homegrown alternative music.
- Daryl Searle, Mean Street Magazine, May '99
