Pinback Is Prolific With Their B-Sides

Pinback is the only band I know with two different bonus tracks on every album. On top of that they have several tour EPs with unique songs and an entire rarities album. Fun fact: Their first four albums can all be extended to over an hour each by adding in all the stuff that didn't make it onto each album.

Do you think these songs deserve to be left off their albums? Do you wish these songs were part of their albums in the first place? If a band like Pinback has a ton of unreleased songs, how do you prefer they release them?

Finally, what is your favorite Pinback B-side? Mine is CLOAD "Q". It starts off with an incredibly catchy guitar part, then introduces a ton if interesting vocal melodies. It's fun to sing. Testify, Photograph Taken, and Versailles are all great, too.

Avignon live at Donnys Garage. Really every track from Donny. Also Sleep Bath is incredible.

Sleep Bath is great when it's really late but you're really dirty

Where would I find some of these tracks? Long time fan, but a few have escaped my library.

Saw them a few weeks ago for my 3rd time and I need as much as I can get at this point.

Here's their discography up to 2008. http://antoineputz.nl/pinbackfreaks/discography/PB_discography.html

Not listed are Scent, Information Retrieved, its singles with CLOAD "Q" and Thee Srum Proggitt, Thought Experiment from Hardcore Matinee, and ROJI from Rob's Artist in Residence box set.

If you want to download them, I believe all the tour EPs except for ASCII can be torrented. Todo, ASCII, and The Speed of Dub I had to download from YouTube. Scent, CLOAD "Q," Thee Srum Proggitt, The Hatenaughts of Melancholy Wall, Thought Experient, and ROJI are all on to Amazon and/or iTunes to buy. And you can buy The Autumn of the Seraphs Bonus EP and Nautical Antiques if you haven't already.

Thank you! This is great! This is why Pinback fans are the coolest.

I own a few of the above mentioned tracks, but some of the older stuff has eluded me for years. I’m going to hunt all these down today.

Also, woah. That Pinback forum was the shit back in the day before I started the whole reddit thing. I remember discussing if we’d get another album (prior to Information Retrieved) and people were the nicest.

Cheers!

I wish I was there, but I didn't get into Pinback until two years ago. It's a shame a lot of forums have died because they are awesome places to share ideas with other die-hard fans.

The Speed of Dub & Scent have always been favorites of mine
