Hi all, just saw the recent post asking what to listen to next from Pinback and thought I'd share this 'pipeline' I'd built a few months back. Hope this helps!

Hello,

I just discovered Pinback through the song Tripoli, which I like alot.

What's a good place to start to explore the band further?

I purchased their self titled album and Blue Screen Life on Bandcamp to listen to them, as they're not on spotify.

13 years ago I made this post on this subreddit compiling the highest quality versions of Pinback artwork I could find, sourced from my scans and others found online.

Here's an updated collection containing new scans, restorations, and artwork from additional sources.

Since there is a 20 image limit, here is some offcell voices and ROJI. Google Drive link for all artwork without reddit compression

Enjoy!

i posted a few months ago that the Ace-Fu's website was updated to say their catalog is now administered by a new company, at least we know now for sure that Eric Speck isn't the one who's sitting on it anymore.

Such a nice vibe. One of their more reggae influenced tracks too.

I'm not going to say all of it sounds like it could be Pinback, but the newest track "Tenter" got me thinking. I wouldn't have been surprised to see Zach Smith listed under personnel for that specific track since it has such an interesting riff at the start.

I know a ton of his other projects may hit Pinback-esque aspects, but GC is pretty consistent and they have (now) like 5 albums, and I think more in the pipeline? Thoughts? Second up would probably be PLOSIVS for Pinback sound?

Loving it already. Gonna be bumping this all weekend.

Just posted!

$375 shipped, dm to inquire. price firm, plz no offers. VG+ on both records and sleeve.

I was giving the album another listen tonight outside under the cloudy night sky. It was absolutely magical. I feel like it’s definitely one of Rob’s most underrated releases. I was wondering if anyone here had checked it out. If not you have to!!! Well you don’t have to… but yknow, try it you like it 🤓

I’d love to hear other Pinback / Rob Crow fans’ thoughts on it.

Is it only like this for me? I'm decently new to the community but I've heard this sort of thing has happened before. It's kind of a shame, a big chunk of my playlist just vanished. Does anyone know why this happens? I'm not sure whether it's regional or not.

I don’t see it talked about as frequently as albums like blue screen life or self-titled, which is a shame because I really enjoy it. True North and Glide are some of my favorites of theirs & I especially love the strings on True North.
I’d be interested to hear how it was received upon release. Did people compare it to their early work? It has maybe a less moody sound to it

Just noticed that if you look at the Google Street View of the Fonda in LA it shows that day's headliner... Pinback from October 14 last year.

For that matter, what does CLOAD "Q" mean? Are they just nonsense or is there a meaning somewhere in there?

Does anybody know if there is live footage of
holy smokes which is one of rob crows many projects?

I haven’t even seen a picture of the band!

June has always sound waltz-y to me, but I am a complete amateur and would like the check myself before I embarrass myself to friends by claiming June is a waltz while it may well not be.

i was looking at the Discogs page for Rob Crow, and in his other groups/bands, was this band, Alpha Males. this album of theirs, Hercules Police (their only album), was even released by Robcore Records, but i can't really find anything about it anywhere else online, im just kinda curious about it, so no worries if its like lost to time

This is my own music from some years ago. I just discovered this subreddit. Friends have told me this song sounds like Pinback though it wasn’t my intention when writing it.

Found this artist/group through a random radio roundabout and couldn’t help but feel that this just sounds like vintage Pinback. It’s so good.

Thoughts?
