Ahead of their completely wonderful debut album ‘Girls Like Us’ PINS have given a taster via a new song ‘Get With Me’ and prove once more that this Mancunian four piece have got exactly what it takes to take the musical world by storm. ‘Get With Me’ fuses buzz saw guitars with an update on the girl group sound, giving it a sneering post punk sensibility. The album ‘Girls Like Us’ of which we’ll feature at a later date, was recorded live in just a week at Liverpool’s Parr Street studio and as well as being rammed with quality tunes its also infused with an atmosphere of exciting raw creative spontaneity that many bands try to airbrush out of their sound.
As fans of procrastinating TV shrink Dr Frasier Crane will no doubt appreciate sometimes if you over analysis things, constantly tinker around the edges and generally fuck about you can lose the moment, the energy, the passion ! Because sometimes being in the moment is the best place to be… PINS seem to get this, and whilst the debut album is absolutely in no way thrown together, they appreciate capturing their visceral live energy can be almost as important as the songs themselves.
