One of 2013's most impressive newcomers, PINS are showing no signs of slackening the pace.
Debut album 'Girls Like Us' was labelled "earnest, intense, and gothically compelling" by Clash, while subsequent tour dates have seen the band take their noir-pop sound across the country.
So when SXSW came a-calling, the Texan event should've known what to expect. Breezing into the United States for a whirlwind trip, PINS took a camera along for the ride.
Capturing the momentum, the sheer velocity of being a new band at SXSW, the resulting video is also a sweet insight into a band just coming to terms with their own ability.
