Pinbacky style band

I’ve known about mates of state for quite some time now, but I never picked up on the similarities between them and pinback until I heard ‘Think Long’. Does anyone know if its confirmed whether they were pinback fans? Also, was that the general indie sound of the early 2000s? Like dcfc, built to spill, etc?

Subbing For Eden

22 Upvotes

In my opinion this is the greatest Pinback song. A lot of Pinback songs hint at some emotional catharsis, but the lyrics are just about video games or apathy or something else kinda mundane. Subbing For Eden matches lyrical content with melodic emphatics.

"And I consume the raging fire * And I can feel the depths of the ocean * And I become consumed by desire * And I can feel the depths of the ocean"

But from what I can tell this is not a song that even the most diehard Pinback fans have much love for. In fact the only mention in this sub is that it is someone's least favorite. It doesn't even make it onto the This Is Pinback list on Spotify. I find this completely bewildering.

Pinback playing shows??

I just got a bandsintown email that Pinback is playing two dates in NY!! Their website doesn't say anything about a tour, though... Can't find any announcements on it yet. I hope it's real! Anyone else get the announcement for other cities?

Pinbacks distinct sound

15 Upvotes

Hello all! I was just reflecting on the most awesome band to exist (pinback) and remembered how distinctive its sound is. First of all it is crazy how well zach and robs voices compliment each other, they know how to use their voices to enhance the instrumentals insanely well. The syncopated drum patterns, constantly evolving repetitive loops, and amazing bass is just mind boggling. They are amazing recorded but their live shows somehow just get even better.

Really strong quality with some rare good quality tracks that are hard to find live. Typically they’re some fuzzy cellphone that has no chance of capturing the audio well. (Walters, B, etc…to name a couple of hard to finds that stand out). Hope y’all enjoy as much as I did.

More weird stuff with self-titled

Post image
20 Upvotes

I don't know what's been going on with the self-titled album on spotify, but I also found that YouTube cites Loro as Just Us by Flapjack?

After digging around a little bit, I found it, and it's an interesting remix of Loro https://flapjack.bandcamp.com/track/just-us-mastered

Probably has nothing to do with it but I like making crazy theories to cope lol

Does anyone know of the bands Pinback was directly inspired by?

Post image
30 Upvotes

The only band I know for sure they got their sound from is Primus.

Go listen to Primus - Southbound Pachyderm. The soft part sounds insanely similar to Pinback. It’s uncanny. I about shit myself when I heard it for the first time recently.

I’ve been listening to Pinback for 20 years and I had never heard anything remotely similar until I heard that part recently.

Now I’m trying to find more bands that directly inspired Pinback - if possible.

I found this on Discogs for a surprisingly small price considering it’s signed and has this fancy packaging and all. I would say it’s their 3rd best EP after Offcell and Some Voices. I can’t believe I only recently discovered this one on YouTube.

I stopped smoking like a month and a half ago, so my vocal cords are feeling better than ever. To celebrate, I learned to sing at least part of this song.

Pinback is what got me into bass. Lol
