"Pin" is the link into the next song which is from a Belgian punk rock band called Nailpin. The band is formed around lead singer Sean d'Hondt who is also known as a TMF VJ on Belgian television.
Nailpin released their first album in 2004 and it was called '12 to go" referencing to the 12 tracks on the album. This album scored some smaal hits in Belgium but due to his VJ career Sean d'Hondt created some extra opportunities for the band. Eg: Nailpin participated in the tv show MTV's Road Rally in which they travelled through the USA from the Eastcoast to the Westcoast. They had to earn their spending and traveling money with performances and giggs along the way.
After that Avril Lavigne asked them to go on tour with her as her opening act. A great opportunity for this small Belgian band. They did the same with Panic At The Disco.
For the second album Sean left his drums behind and became full time front member after their first lead singer left the band to join Mid Air Collision. That second album scored a real hit with They Don't Know which you can find on White Lies And Butterflies. With this album they can tour a second time in Japan where they're very popular.
A new album will follow and is called III since it's their third and so far last album. After a year of touring around Europe the band decides in late 2009 to take a break from their activities. So far no new songs or albums have been planned.
So here they are:
