With the spirit of rock n blues coursing through their instrument leads, The Pins give a modern twist to the time-old sound of rhythmic guitars, pounding drums and howling, heartfelt vocals.

Hailing from the Hertfordshire/Essex borders, this gang of five mates write observational songs about the lows, highs and everyday realities of getting by in the noughties. Set to tunes that are loud, boisterous, tuneful and proper good fun, their music is both distinctive and instantly charming.

Live especially is where the band really come into their own, and after less than a year's worth of gigging they've amassed a mighty army of fans and performed with the likes of Look See Proof, The Xcerts, Domino State, The Holloways and Subways’ frontman Billy Lunn.

Currently writing and recording new material, the band will be going for broke throughout 2009, so watch this space for details of future shows, new tunes and hopefully a whole bunch of festival appearances.
