Hello !

Pins - Wild Nights ( Bella Union - 2015 )

PINS is a British rock band formed in Manchester in 2011. The group consists of singer/guitarist Faith Holgate, guitarist Lois McDonald, bassist Anna Donigan, and drummer Sophie Galpin. Singer Faith Holgate cites bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Hole as influences.
PINS formed in 2011 when Faith Holgate, while looking for bandmates, decided that she wanted to form an all-girl band rather than be the token girl in a mostly male band. They released their first album, Girls Like Us, in September 2013. In 2015, they opened for Sleater-Kinney on the UK leg of their tour.

PINS second album ‘Wild Nights’ was released on Bella Union on 9 June 2015.

I am rather sure no one has posted this one yet. The full release became available three days ago. Had a couple of listens to this, this release has elements of Crazy Horse here, a rather good strong offering by Young and new supporting group. A+

I do love a good concept able. Although this one isn't in anyway "prog" so it should appeal to all tastes. The writer has cenceived an album based around the life of his father. Although initially not meant as a direct tribute to his father, more simpley an album inspired by his experiences, it became so when his father based away during the making of the album

My Father Was a Sailor by North Atlantic Explorers

Speedy Ortiz's newest one, Foil Deer.

I've always kept my eye on this band since they caught my attention with an EP back in 2012.  They put out their first album in 2013 and it was fantastic, and I think they've struck gold again with the sophomore, which is pretty rare.

This is an album I really like from this year. Shoegaze meets alternative indie and the sound is very intense and massive! Swedish artist with a good sense of melodies. spotify:album:2ZsYZhNx9JRJlgwMNEtmvS
