Needles//Pins began in Vancouver in 2010 as an excuse for three friends to hang out. The band have signed up with Mint Records and Dirt Cult Records to release their new LP, Goodnight, Tomorrow, on June 30th, and you can hear a new song now (see Exclaim! debut)….
Needles//Pins are Adam Solomonian (guitar & lead vocals), Tony Dubroy (bass & back up vocals) and Macey Budgel (drums). The band has become legendary in Vancouver for wild shows and gruff but catchy punk rock hooks. The band draws from classic punk rock roots like The Buzzcocks and Stiff Little Fingers but have a unique West Coast approach that would align them with the catchiest of the Lookout! or Dirtnap Records catalog. Though none of their songs overstay their welcome, you’ll find yourself humming one of their hooks days after seeing them play or hearing the record.
Jesse Gander (Japandroids, White Lung, The Pack A.D.) recorded Needles//Pins new LP in Vancouver at Rain City Recording and it shows an organic growth from their previous releases. The voices are gruffer from hundreds of shows and there is a richer appreciation of their influences and roots at play in the song writing. The band is gearing up to promote Goodnight, Tomorrow with heavy touring across Canada and The US as well as festival appearances at Ottawa Explosion and Sled Island.
