I'd wager, however, that the next time they visit the crowd will be somewhat larger.

PINS are the post-punk Runaways we never got. There's lots of Siouxsie in the mix, a bold slab of My Bloody Valentine, and a beguiling touch of The Bangles, especially in frontwoman Faith Holgate. She and statuesque bassist Anna Donigan formed the band under two years ago, recruiting fiesty guitarist Lois Macdonald and then drummer Lara Williams. The foursome play great and they look great too – the mutual grooming of fringe maintenance must put in the time on the tour bus.
