Pinback is an indie rock band from San Diego, California, currently signed to Temporary Residence Ltd.[1]

The

band was formed in 1998 by singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Armistead Burwell Smith IV and Rob

Crow. Tom Zinser, Chris Prescott, and Mario Rubalcaba have all contributed drums to the band's albums. Aside

from Smith and Crow, the current line-up of the live band is: Chris Prescott, Erik Hoversten, and Braden Diotte. Past

members of the Pinback live band are: Terrin Durfey, Ryan Bromley, Cameron Jones, Kenseth Thibideau, Tom

Zinser, Gabriel Voiles, Dmitri Dziensuwski, Donny Van Zandt, and Thatcher Orbitachi.

The band's moniker is a reference to a character in the film Dark Star(played by Dan O'Bannon, who also co-wrotethe film), directed by John Carpenter. Audio samples from this film are used frequently in the band's early works.

Pinback's most recent album Autumn of the Seraphs was released on September 11, 2007.[2]

[3]

The band also

recently released a collection of rarities, entitled Nautical Antiques. They appeared live in a nationally broadcast

interview and played a couple of songs on NPR's Talk of the Nation on October 8, 2007, available for download via

NPR's website.

On April 1, 2009, it was announced that Pinback was working on a new album, due 2011, and that it would be

released by Temporary Residence Ltd.

On Record Store Day 2011, Pinback released the single "Information Retrieved A" as the first installment of their

"Information Retrieved" series. The release includes two tracks, Sherman and Thee Srum Proggitt.
