Pinback
Label: Touch and GoGenre: Experimental, Pop, Rock
For those who consider "indie" a genre rather than just a classification, it's probably such lo-fi, wounded-guy sounds as Sebadoh, Built to Spill, and Modest Mouse that come to mind when you hear the "I" word. But don't forget about Pinback, who return to rock your world — well, that may be a bit overstated — with some loopy, melancholic, melodic pop. What's new is "indie" again on the splendid single "Fortress." The others are just for nostalgia's sake.

It was great to hear pinback at The Oc.
The best sound that I've ever heard there.

pinback has got to be my most favorite band, ever. i'm so glad i'm from san diego and i get to sample them live two to three times a year.
thanks for the good sampling and nice blurb.

They are a great band, very indie, I thought they were Australian since they sound similar to the sounds over here (alternative and indie, great riffs etc, this is a gooooood thing!)
They are also getting good airplay here on Triple J (National anti-commericial music station).

Pinback is great. I remember the first time I heard 'Tripoli', I was floored. I saw them live at Coachella a couple years back and they didn't look at all like I had imagined them. The one dude looks like he belongs in a punk band, not singing lovely indie pop.

3hive has become my new internet haven.
im thrilled you listed pinback. I'm wary of listing importance to bands, but they're really my favorite band as of yet.

Anyone with good Musical taste has to like Pinback, considering all other bands these guys pull through with amazing musical talent, that raises above all other Music other than just rock!
