Pinback
Armistead Burwell Smith IV (Absiv, Zach Smith) and Rob Crow form the heart of this amazing indie band from San Diego. The duo has created their tapestry of noise led by the unique bass playing of Zach and deep layers of vocal harmonies. The duo have had many live players throughout the years and have recently adopted more laptop backing tracks toward the end of their tenure. These two brilliant gentlemen have created lush songs by combining bass and guitars with pianos and various synths and a barrage of harmonizing. Their first albums (self-titled, Some Voices ep) had mostly drum machine programming and many samples from the film "Dark Star" from where the band derived their name, Pinback. From 1999-2015, the group released five full length alumbs (self titled, Blue Screen Life, Summer in Abbadon, Autumn of the Seraphs, Information Retrieved), various eps (Some Voices, Offcell, Nautical Antiques), special tour release CDs (Live in Donny's Garage, 2001 tour ep, Arrive Having Eaten, Too Many Shadows) and a variety of other singles and b-sides. The band called it quits in May of 2015.
