N°50 PINBACK - THEE SRUM PROGGIT

Apparantly I thought my previous link was number 50 but I made a mistake in adding up the numbers along the way so here's number 50 again. It's Pinback, a Californian band from the indie scene. A bit soft at times but I seem to think it's pretty ok music. And while watching the video I loved the pictues used in this video post actually. I hope you can enjoy them too. Anyway

Since they're from California it ties up perfectly into the previous song but what's more to know? They're from San Diego and originally formed by Armistead Burwell Smith IV (what's in a name) and Rob Crow. The band had a huge number of band members passing through this mostly since they're know as a multi instrumentalists band meaning they use a huge amount of different instruments in their music.

Pinback created five albums so far and you coiuld find the first one on the shelves in 1999 and was called This Is Pinback. Not so very original but very clear obviously.Their second album Blue Screen Life bought them a huge local live reputation. Therefore a third album was recorded in 2004 and this time Pinback made it to the US charts for the very first time. Autumn Of The Seraphs from 2007 would even break their previous high score in the charts ending up at plce 69. No real big hits were scored in either of the albums. I think Penelope must be one of their most famous songs.

At the moment the band is working on a complete new album to be released early 2012. The album has the working title of Information Retrieved and already two songs have been released so far: Thee Srum Proggit and Sherman. I've chosen to post the first one and hope you'll like it.
