pop rock from washington, d.c.
โIt'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.โ
โ[Your Ideal] is one of the best rock records of the yearโ
โCinema Hearts Make a Good First Impressionโ
โ Rolling Stone
โThe 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 thatโs cool and clean. In Weinrothโs expert hands itโs a hurricane of a sugar rush.โ

about cinema hearts
An ex-pageant queen fronts a rock band? Cinema Hearts has a pulsing passion for days gone by. Itโs 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.
Cinema Hearts has been featured by Rolling Stone, DC101 Radio, Washington Post, Spotify Fresh Finds Rock, Bandcamp New & Notable, Consequence, and more. Cinema Hearts has opened for Hozier, Cold War Kids, La Luz, Hunx & His Punx, The Courettes, Sloppy Jane, Death Valley Girls, and Dengue Fever.
In D.C., Cinema Hearts has played at Letโs Go! Music Festival, The Atlantis, Lincoln Theater, Black Cat, Smithsonian Museums, Phillips Collection, and more. They have toured to SXSW (Austin), Sled Island Music Festival (Calgary), Nashville, NYC, Richmond, Baltimore, and other cities.
