With the spirit of rock n blues coursing through their instrument leads, The Pins give a modern twist to the time-old sound of rhythmic guitars, pounding drums and howling, heartfelt vocals.
Hailing from the Hertfordshire/Essex borders, this gang of five mates write observational songs about the lows, highs and everyday realities of getting by in the noughties. Set to tunes that are loud, boisterous, tuneful and proper good fun, their music is both distinctive and instantly charming.
Live especially is where the band really come into their own, and after less than a year's worth of gigging they've amassed a mighty army of fans and performed with the likes of Look See Proof, The Xcerts, Domino State, The Holloways and Subways’ frontman Billy Lunn.
So, watch this space for details of future shows and new tunes.
Go on The Pins!
"Ones to watch."

"Band of the week."

"With the same blend of driving rock, R&B and soul that propelled the likes of The Jam and their Mod-revival ilk to the top of the charts in the hey day of punk, The Pins have live performance down to a fine art and know exactly how to fire up a crowd."
James Burton, The Herts and Essex Observer
"Punchy, spiky pop-punk with a knowing nod to the mighty modfather himself... this is the sound of a bunch of talented musicians having a good time doing whatever the hell they want to."
Chris Moss, The Harlow Star
"Bishops Stortford's fast-rising Weller-alikes"

As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
