Listen: Pins Announce Christmas Release, Stream ‘Kiss Me Quickly (It’s Christmas)’

‘Girls Like Us’ make charitable Christmas compilations, apparently.

Manchester four-piece PINS are following up this year’s Bella Union-signed debut with news of a special Xmas-time release featuring fellow local heroes, such as Shinies, Brown Brogues and September Girls.

The release is headed up by a new PINS track, ‘Kiss Me Quickly (It’s Christmas)’. After taking the official Christmas-song test, DIY’s Christmas-o-meter can report that because it contains sleigh bells, it’s 100% Christmassy.

Haus of Pins release the compilation, with proceeds going to SWAP, an organisation that assists refugees and asylum seekers.



PINS play the following UK dates:

DECEMBER
04 Cork, The Pavilion
05 Limerick, Bourkes
06 Dublin, Workmans Club
07 Galway, Roisin Dubh
12 Hebden Bridge, Hebden Bridge Trades Club
13 Manchester, Deaf Institute (w/ Dum Dum Girls)
14 December – London, Hoxton Bar & Kitchen (w/ Dum Dum Girls)
