Announcing – The Hails set to make their Music Yard debut on Saturday, Septemeber 13, 2025 with support from local indie band Oceanic!
The Hails is a five-piece indie rock band from Miami, Florida, formed during their college years at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The band members are Robbie Kingsley (lead vocals), Franco Solari (guitar, vocals), Dylan McCue (guitar), Andre Escobar (bass), and Zach Levy (drums). They initially formed in Miami during high school before coming together again at UF. Their name is a nod to the University of Florida’s alma mater chant, “All hail Florida, Hail”
The Hails’ sound is described as a blend of modern alternative rock, drawing inspiration from artists like Tame Impala, The Strokes, Radiohead, and Arctic Monkeys. The band’s early days involved playing at local events and parties in Gainesville, eventually securing a regular gig at High Dive. They then decided to return to Miami, their formative home, to introduce their music to a new audience. Their debut EP, He Seems Upset, was released in 2020, followed by Alive in Strange Ways (2021) and Exonerate (2022). They have also played at festivals like WonderStruck, Okeechobee, Governors Ball, and Playground, as well as sold-out shows across Florida.
