***Woven into the San Francisco Bay Area music scene for many years, PINS OF LIGHT members SHANE BAKER, JAKE PALLADINO, RAVI DURBEEJ and PHIL BECKER have been, and still remain members of ALARIC, TRICLOPS!, DEAD AND GONE and HIGHTOWER. Their sophomore effort, recorded in San Francisco at El Studio by DONNY NEWENHOUSE with additional tracking and mixing done by drummer Becker, showcases the bands unique style and cohesion. Their music can be described as a freight train on a starry midnight voyage; and their diverse influences can be heard on all eight tracks. Ranging from blistering old-fashioned punk rock, psychedelic acid rock, to straight ahead hard rock—all reinforced with pummeling drums and heavy guitars, this quartet refuses to be pinned down. They’ve shared the stage with acts as diverse as High on Fire to The Sonics along with The Melvins, Unsane, Jello Biafra, Weed Eater, Toys That Kill, Big Business, Obits, and Black Cobra to name a few. Home is the band’s follow up LP to 2012’s II, which was released on Alternative Tentacles Records. They have also released singles on Scion Records and Valley King Records, with an upcoming Valley King split single with Big Business to be released Summer 2016.
