Listen: Pins Announce Christmas Release, Stream ‘Kiss Me Quickly (It’s Christmas)’
Manchester group are bringing together local bands for a charity compilation.

‘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
