PINS have announced a new double sided 7" single, along with a short UK tour which kicks off next week.

The double sided release of 'A Stay True'/'Get With Me' will be released on July 22nd through Bella Union, however the lead single is available to stream now.

'A Stay True' follows a similar trend to the Mancunian four piece's previous singles, underpinning visceral rhythms with urgent vocals amongst a constantly changing level of intensity, as chants built for a festival crowd resonate throughout.

This the first single from PINS since the girls' original drummer left the band recently, the quartet said of Lara Williams' departure; "We were sad to see Lara go, but we wanted her to do what made her happy and not hold her back from that."

"Having Lara with us from the start was integral to us finding our sound and our confidence as musicians, and we’ll love her forever."
