Pinback is an American indie rock band from San Diego, California. The band was formed in 1998 by singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Armistead Burwell Smith IV and Rob Crow, who have been its two constant members. They have released five studio albums and several other releases.

History and origin

[edit | edit source]

The band's moniker is a reference to a character in the 1974 film Dark Star (played by Dan O'Bannon). Audio samples from this film are used frequently in the band's early works.[1][2]

The band's debut album, Pinback, was released on October 12, 1999, through Ace Fu Records. A European version, released the same year through Cutty Shark Records, included two additional tracks.

In 2004, Pinback signed to Touch and Go Records.[3] They released their third album, Summer in Abaddon, later that year. In 2006, the band released a collection of rarities, entitled Nautical Antiques. Pinback's fourth full-length album, Autumn of the Seraphs, was released on September 11, 2007.[4][5] They appeared live in a nationally broadcast interview and played a couple of songs on NPR's Talk of the Nation on October 8, 2007.

On April 1, 2009, Pinback announced they were working on a new album that would be released by Temporary Residence Ltd. Their fifth studio album, Information Retrieved, was released October 16, 2012.[6] On August 15, 2012, Pinback released the song "Proceed to Memory" from Information Retrieved free to play through RollingStone.com.[7]

Smith and Crow have been the band's two consistent members. They are typically joined by drummer Chris Prescott; Tom Zinser and Mario Rubalcaba have previously contributed drums. Other past members of the Pinback live band include: Erik Hoversten, Braden Diotte, Terrin Durfey, Ryan Bromley, Cameron Jones, Kenseth Thibideau, Brent Asbury, Gabriel Voiles, Dmitri Dziensuwski, Donny Van Zandt, and Thatcher Orbitashi.
