“Cinema Hearts Make a Good First Impression” - Rolling Stone

“I’ve been listening repeatedly to Cinema Hearts’ new EP I Want You.” - Add To Wantlist

“It'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.” - A Pessimist is Never Disappointed

“Cinema Hearts Subverts the Machismo of Rock Music with New Single ‘Fender Factory’” - FLOOD Magazine

[Your Ideal] is one of the best rock records of the year” - New York Music Daily

Your Ideal is a tight little EP with each track worthy of note” — Ink19

“Your Ideal manages to be that kind of record that's decidedly personal, but in its specificity, it ends up being full of broad appeal. Thankfully, the hooks here are robust in spots. Your Ideal punches hard, but every cut here is engaging and smartly rendered and observed.” — A Pessimist is Never Disappointed

“In five songs with infectiously catchy 50s progressions, the [Your Ideal] EP narrates the highs and lows of the Miss Virginia experience with a similar blend of high camp and disarming realness.” - Post Trash

“The 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.” — Slug Magazine

about cinema hearts

An ex-pageant queen fronts a rock 'n' roll 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.
