Formed in 2011 around the campus of Sichuan Conservatory of Music, The Hormones gradually drew in members from surrounding universities. Their reputation grew with frequent gigs at places like Chengdu’s Little Bar, an indie mecca in the city for the then burgeoning indie scene. While being all girls, they hated the idea of being reduced to just eye candy. Releasing their new album, The Hormone is touring 20 Chinese cities.
