Biography
There is more than one artist with this name:
1) the PINHEADS (sometimes just PINHEADS) was a punk/garage rock band from Umeå, Sweden, existing from 1979 to 1985.
2) The Pinheads are a six, sometimes seven piece rock n roll outfit who can be found ten-pin bowling and eating slimy pizza in the suburbs of the Illawarra.
They were raised on garage rock and horror films and it’s what has made them the eyeball-melting, skull shrinking group you'll never forget as they crawl out of the crypt and into your mind.
In less than a year the band has already begun to clearly define themselves by some fuzzy, raucous rock 'n roll and a wild screaming live show to boot. The band is a sight to see, putting on some of the highest energy, most unpredictable and noisy shows around and has been known to melt people into puddles and horrify the audience.
Recorded entirely by themselves in their barn amongst the bush, The Pinheads have now completed their debut EP 'I Wanna Be A Girl' and it's to die for. Mixed and mastered by Owen Penglis (Royal Headache, The Grates, Straight Arrows), they have managed to create their own spicy cocktail of psych and rock 'n roll. It’s a record that will feel and sound familiar in a way yet still stand alone and remain totally unique.
The Pinheads will scare and swoon you, you won't know whether to run, dance or scream. But either way their spell will have you fall in love and howling for more.
Debut ep out July 2015 via Farmer & The Owl/Inertia.
