Manchester’s PINS headline The Sugarmill on 5th March 2020.

The group consists of singer/guitarist Faith Vern, guitarist Lois MacDonald and bassist Kyoko Swan. Singer Faith Vern cites bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Hole as influences.

PINS formed in 2011 when Faith was looking for band mates, decided that she wanted to form an all-female band rather than be the token woman in a mostly male band.
