On Febraruy 3rd, “I” will officially be available worldwide at select record stores, all of the Pinstripes’ live shows and numerous online retailers, including Whatevski Records. You can preorder “I” now by visiting their brand new online store! If you order in the next two weeks, there’s a good chance you’ll even get a signed copy of the new album.
I’m personally very impressed with The Pinstripes and the work they put into this release. All the CDs and Vinyl art is unique, original and handmade by the band themselves. You can tell that this massively talented band wanted their debut full-length to be just right, making sure that an enormous amount of attention to detail was spent and that this labor of love was not rushed. I’ve previewed the album and love where they are taking this genre. True fans will not be disappointed as the release packaging is made for you!
