Pin Me Down (Bloc Party related)

[pivotalgubbins]

First post in here, but I think I've just come across a gem of a little band (for me, so far anyway) by the name of Pin Me Down - a side project of Bloc Party guitarist, Russell Lissack.

Couple of tracks on their Myspace page - http://www.myspace.com/pinmedown

I think I've be investing in the album over the weekend, but as I haven't purchased anything in a while, I'm torn between adding to my CD collection or finally moving over to the digital format in its entirely. Anyway, that's a side issue...

Let me know your thoughts on the above, if it is old news, just ignore me! :thumbs:

Heard his first solo single on the radio.

It was like one of those dance Bloc Party tracks. A bontempi set to 80's house with rubbish lyrics on top.

I reviewed it on The Music Fix a couple of weeks back and really enjoyed the album. It's nothing groundbreaking but if you loved Bloc Party's first album, then it's highly likely you'll like Pin Me Down.

Proper **** is Pin me Down

I really liked Silent Alarm and Weekend. Struggled with Intimacy though, far too electronic. I always thought Bloc Party had solid enough beats anyway for indie but once they went more electronic it lost something.
