Everybody’s 13 and free

Pin Me Down is Russel Lissack (the bassist of Bloc Party) and Milena Mepris (Vocalist from New York). The cross of the two creates the most chic new-wave sound this side of a Kitsune Maison compilation.
Lissack’s guitaring is comparable to an over exaggerated 80s guitar-gasm, just without the grease and the hair (although, that fancy fringe must require some work?). The two met in 2004 and have been swapping ideas through email ever since, the fruits of their labour only just coming to harvest.
Those brilliant ‘Banquet’ style Bloc Party guitar riffs are back with a new glamourous, lip-glossed chorus. Pull out those crimpers and leg warmers as Pin Me Down will be releasing their first vinyl ‘Cryptic’ on French label Kitsune Music this May.
