Pins play the song “House of Love” live at the Eagle Inn, Salford on 27th February 2015 previewing their 2nd album due in June. The new Pins album. with the bands fearless drumbeat and bass sound, with Faith’s alluring vocal and finally the stunning clash of guitars and drums. Manchester-based PINS are a truly glorious mix of shoegaze, punk and post-punk, with singer and guitarist Faith Holgate at times veering towards Patti Smith and then back to Karen O. last year’s album Girls Like Us, certainly straddles between shoegaze and punk, they are is wonderfully raw and visceral. Savages would struggle to out-do this band.
PINS look the part and you sense they’re certainly beginning to know this. Already on Bella Union, they’re tantalisingly close to breaking through, with the soon-to-begin tour alongside The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion a massive indication of this. No, it shouldn’t be long now. They’re a real privilege to see.
