"This three-piece band is like your favorite garage band all grown up... You can hear it all, Led Zeppelin, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, The Who and The Kinks. I’m not fond of the using the word 'shred' to describe guitar playing, but Adam McIntyre does nothing but." - Rebecca Ledford, macon.comAs The Pinx stand facing a sold-out crowd of 1800 at the Variety Playhouse, Atlanta's hardest-working power trio have little time to dissect how they've reached this moment in one short year.After proving themselves in dives and at festivals across the country and living on the road, The Pinx now find themselves collecting accolades from a certain Grammy-award winning band that chooses to remain anonymous (but is identified as any of several very large, extinct proboscidian mammals of the genus Mammut), airing live performances on television, and debuting an album that led Ben Harper to personally book them on his tour.On stage, The Pinx are known for their violent performances, opening veins, pushing limits and reassuring the crowd that Rock and Roll at its best is sexy, snarky, dark and sweet.
Some call them the hardest-working rock & roll band from Atlanta, others call them modern-day Vikings, pillaging and laying waste to towns and venues across the Southeastern US. The Pinx are increasingly notorious for running up $200 bar tabs, smashing their instruments on stage, spewing beer on their audiences… oh, and for putting on one helluva rock show with a lot of sweat, laughs and energy. Their applause is typically in the form of shouting and swearing, and reviewers habitually grasp for comparisons to Rock's most visceral, hard-partying bands. Southeastern Performer Magazine even mentioned The Pinx's "melt-your-face-off guitar solos and hard drum beats" in late '07. Two months of work in the studio yielded the 11-song LP "Look What You Made Me Do" which will be released around August of this year.
"This record does it for me. The music is honest, loving and passionate; much like the people who made it. I love these dudes." - Matt Whyte, Earl Greyhound
"Badass, hard-hitting Atlanta power-pop/hard rock trio known for off-kilter grooves, swampy riffs and syncopated breaks, a la The Who and/or Led Zep. They actually sound like a cross between Brother Cane and the more frenzied moments of Big Star's Radio City LP." - Connect Savannah
