About Horace Pinker:
Formed in Tempe, AZ and now based in Chicago, Horace Pinker have shared stages with NOFX, Green Day, Fugazi, Bad Religion, Jawbreaker, Agent Orange, Jimmy Eat World, The Offspring, Blink-182, and more. The band has toured extensively across Europe, Asia, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand, performing in over 20 countries and appearing at major festivals including Groezrock (Belgium), Pouzza Fest (Montreal), and The Fest (Gainesville).
With seven studio albums, numerous EPs, a Fat Wreck 7-inch, and a split with Face to Face, Horace Pinker remain one of punk’s most enduring and quietly influential bands. As The A.V. Club noted, their “magic mix of intersecting guitars, a forceful rhythm section, and vocals that knew when to sing and when to shout” is alive and well.
