The film, meanwhile, was made by Olivier Richomme and Sarah Jenny Johnson, and features a video for each track on the band’s latest EP, ‘Bad Thing’. The band say of the 20-minute story “In many ways the video is an ode to Manchester, from filming on the eerie surrounding moors to partying in a former public toilet, Temple Bar, with Shameless’ own Alice Barrie! We filmed in a few of our favourite venues and bars in Manchester and we just got to have some drinks and listen to music whilst the filming went on. We also filmed on the moors as we wanted some contrast and calm to the chaotic scenes of the night before. The snow was perfect, and so was the pastel sunset”.

PINS play alongside JAWS at a Fluffer Pit Party on 22nd July at a secret Hackney location.
