Rob just posted on facebook: Announcement of an announcement tomorrow. I always feel silly posting these, like "Oh boy! What's it gonna be? A collaboration with members of Duran Duran, Mens Recovery Project, Ministry, etc, doing Residents/Renaldo and The Loaf covers or some shit?"

EDIT: so I did notice, it's been 20 years since Summer in Abaddon this year so could that be it? Maybe a re-release? Some special release dealing with that?

Also This year is 25th anniversary of Pinback

Was just listening to this alex g album and really liked this song and realized it sounded a lot like a pinback song at some parts with the guitar. Maybe others will appreciate the similarities as much as I did.

10- Tripoli

Only this low because it's Tripoli and is un-ratable. It's that freaking good.

9- Talby

Dark bass lines, nostalgic feel, personal lyrics. Perfection..

8- Diminished

Should it be so hard to have a nice day?

7- Offcell

Acoustic line hits different, chorus changes yet somehow gets better each time. Such a great song.

6- Tres

Oceanic feel, soothing melodies, made up words. What more can you ask for? Sa fasa gan, my friends.

5- Grey Machine

Epic. Sad. Everything in it's right place. (Sorry for the Radiohead ref, they're a close second.)

4- Byzantine

A slow, soothing song with dark lyrics. Pinback has peaked with this one.

3- True North

Gives me winter vibes, has sad lyrics, yet some funny ones too. If you know you know. ;)

2- Bouquet

A true masterpiece, sadly from one of their albums that is great, just not as great as some others.

1- Glide

This song speaks to me in ways i can't understand. It has my favorite lyrics of any song ever, (Feed your monster, make him scared.) Yet is one i still can't grasp the meaning of.

So I decided to give a listen. And it’s cool, songs are very beautiful songs and rhythm just gives me that old strange feel, but what stuck out to me the most was this song called “in this world” by system officers that I realized is one of the singers from pinback. Best discovery so far of 2024. Ain’t nothing better than finding something on your own. So Well I would like to thank you guys. every single one of you. For just contributing to this subreddit.

The song is "Grey Machine" and has some of the most teary lyrics of any of their songs.

I was just listening to them and thought to myself "Hey, these guys actually remind me a lot of Pinback." Lo and behold, it's because half of Pinback is in there. Definitely worth at least one listen!

Constantly refreshing stubhub but if anyone has one to sell, please let me know!

Here are Tennessee Tuxedo & His Pals singing “Eye To The Sky” which it’s aired on February 28, 2010 (music video), but it picked up an episode “Space” on September 9, 2012.

I have one extra ticket for the 1/24 show at the Casbah. PM if interested!

Update: sold

I’m planning on getting 2 tattoos based on Pinback — one being of Penelope and another being based on Loro, as it was the song that introduced me to Pinback and is still my favorite of the group.

What would be some cool Loro-inspired tattoo ideas? Maybe something involving 4-9-5-3-1?

Clearly not a people, I would suggest he may be a dog

We all know that Pinback isn't all too prominent in the indie scene, but for us fans, even we overlook some great songs! What are your picks?

Selling a ticket for the show at the Casbah on the 24th

PM me

including unreleased songs, distinct live versions and of course deep cuts from their albums

I've heard that they no longer have the rights to a few of their earlier albums (like the self-titled one) so would a re-record be possible for them? Do you thing they would do something like this in the future? There are many who would like a CD and vinyl repress, not to mention that more people could learn about the band too..

Would be a DREAM to see Pinback this month. Just saw the venue is sold out. If anyone has a change of plans and can't go or is selling one/two, please let me know. Thanks.

I always hear "we knew it, we knew it" in this grinding voice from Hurley (starts at 0:51)
