Los Angeles pop-punks Pinstock are releasing their brand new single “Going Backwards” tomorrow and we’re stoked to bring you the exclusive premiere for the accompanying music video today, right here on Dying Scene! Check that shit out below, pre-save the single on Spotify, and stay tuned for a new EP from Pinstock coming soon on Wiretap Records!
Produced by the legendary Paul Miner (ex-Death By Stereo bassist, producer for Zebrahead, the Adolescents, CJ Ramone, etc.), the idea for “Going Backwards” was birthed by a demo written and recorded by Pinstock’s drummer Jeff in the early 2000’s. Here’s some more background on the music video from the band:
“For the music video we decided to run with the theme of “Going Backwards”, and create a fictional story of us meeting and forming as a band. We all play exaggerated versions of our “old selves” (Myself being Hip-Hop, Ricky being Emo, Jeff being Punk Rock and Danny being Metal). An A&R for a Record Label (played by my wife Rosa Finch) is tasked with finding the next big thing, and decides the best way to do that is to bait us with “Money, Fame, Sex, Girls & Love”. Once we are all trapped in a room with instruments, we try out different variations until something works! After we leave the rehearsal room, we realize we have grown into new people and are ready for the next chapter in our lives.”
