Manchester band PINS continue to deliver tracks as we patiently wait for their new LP. 'Ghosting' is the trio's latest cut which finds the group delivering stadium-style, sing-a-long choruses over electro-driven production, stacked with 4x4 drumming and fuzzy synth work.
Manchester band PINS have shared another track taken from their forthcoming LP 'Hot Slick', out May 29th on their Haus of Pins imprint. The new single titled 'Ponytail' is another grooving mixture of electro, new wave and post-punk. While husky synths drive through the production, the playful melodies and stadium style chorus give the song a fun appeal, not to mention is highly anthemic.
Aside from having an extraordinary live show, Manchester band PINS released two incredible LPs with their 2013 album 'Girls Like Us' and 'Wild Nights', released back in 2015. Since that time, they have dropped a slew of singles, as well as the 2017 'Bad Thing' EP which featured none other than Iggy Pop.
