The Pinz are Antagonizing the Jacksonville Rock Scene
Words by Carmen Macri
“Turns out we clean up OK…”
Jacksonville’s own rock band, The Pinz, are making their highly anticipated return to the music scene—and fans couldn’t be more excited.
“The [last] reunion show being such a success was a big inspiration,” Walter Clough, lead vocals and guitar, shared. “We kind of looked at each other after the show and were all like ‘holy sh*t that was actually rad’.”
Clough recently relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, crediting the move as the catalyst for his return to the music scene.
“I started going to see shows again and the songs just started coming,” Clough recalled.
Clough says he’s always had an antagonistic edge, and moving forward, he wants to channel that energy into the music scene—just in a more mature, nuanced way. He and the band agree there’s something different about their latest songs, calling them the most genuine and honest he’s written yet.
“I just want to be an antagonizer in the space,” Clough shared. “I’ve had an antagonistic attitude since I was born, but have to find a nuanced, mature way of communicating the art. We as a band agreed there’s something different with these songs. They are the most genuine, honest songs I’ve written.”
The band is set to make their big return to Jacksonville on June 14 at Jack Rabbits.
