Next Monday – 23 October, Antwerp, Belgium – I will see the awesome THE BREEDERS finally again. But I’m at least equally excited to see, support act, the stellar Manchester
gang PINS too… again. They soundtrack their rage against injustice, intolerance and all sorts of inequality in our society with gloriously amplified knockout pop punk rock gems. Check their two flaming albums GIRLS LIKE US (2013) and WILD NIGHTS (2015) and this year’s excellent 5-track Bad Thing EP, including a collaboration with the one and only punkfather IGGY POP. A few weeks ago, ahead of a series of headline dates & the support slots with The Breeders across Europe the band launched stand out single SERVE THE RICH. Produced by JAMIE HINCE of ‘The Kills‘ it’s a ‘loud and clear’ cracker “about how sometimes we feel like we only exist to make money for other people, it’s a swizz. We are promised things by saviours, these people who have come to rescue us, but it’s not true. ‘Serve The Rich’ was my opportunity to assert myself. I’m saying that we as PINS, musicians, women, Labour voters, and feminists, are here to save the kids, we’re here to save each other, we’re here to save ourselves. ”
