This week’s featured show is the The Tins CD Release Show.

Buffalo, NY’s The Tins weave immediately arresting harmonic anthems through a sonic fabric laced with threads of 1960’s psychedelic pop, static-washed experimental indie-folk, and new-wave art rock. Together, keyboard player and vocalist Mike Santillo, drummer and vocalist Dave Muntner, and guitarist and vocalist Adam Stanley, draw listeners into a world crackling with “brilliant pop exuberance” (USA Today).

Their new eponymous LP was produced by Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls, mixed by Ted Young, and features art by legendary Rolling Stone cover artist Philip Burke. “Robby asked us to play a fundraiser at an Italian restaurant in Buffalo” explains Muntner. “So here we are, The Tins, munching on pasta and cannoli, and Robby walks up and says he likes our sound and wants to produce a song. It was only supposed to be one song. Everyone enjoyed working together so much, and just felt inspired… to create an entire album… so we did it.”
