Super sassy Indie Power Pop straight outta Portland
Editorial review
Despite frequent lineup changes, Portland, OR's Pinehurst Kids still rock with some of the best emo-pop from the Northwest. Bleed It Dry finds the band leaning more toward the indie rock side of the emo spectrum, but the true story behind the band's name (casualties resulting from a lead leak in Pinehurst, ID) make up for any lack of fire in the melodies. Underpinnings of Foo Fighters and Built to Spill abound, while "The Onceler," marked by Joe Davis' teenage-angst yell, is one of the few moments that Pinehurst Kids stay true to the emo form. Whether or not this is due to production from Larry Crane (whose credits include Elliott Smith and Sleater-Kinney), this solid effort doesn't lose its vision of lovelorn relationships and jumpy tempos. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
PINEHURST KIDS
“Pinehurst Kids surpass the bulk of their contemporaries in the easy-sounding power pop genre by way of passion, energy, and, most importantly, talent.” –The Stranger: May 2001
With Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Joe Davis at the helm, Pinehurst Kids have established a solid presence in the national college music scene, and show no signs of slowing down.
"Joe Davis plays like a man who fears the end could come any minute. His bandmates possess the same frantic pop grind as Superchunk, as well as the choirboy sweetness of Sunny Day Real Estate. The music's frail and fresh, and it goes by at 90 miles an hour." --Alternative Press; July 1999
In terms of experience, Pinehurst Kids aren't exactly kids anymore. By 1997, Joe Davis had escaped his childhood haunts of Pinehurst and Boise, Idaho and moved to Portland, Oregon where he began crafting high-energy pop songs.
↓ more ↓With the addition of Caleb Gates on bass, it wasn't long before Pinehurst Kids recorded at Portland's Jackpot! studio. Initially the band's intent was to make a demo to give to friends and clubs. With a bit of borrowed cash for mastering and manufacturing, their self-released debut Minnesota Hotel hit the streets.
" . . . a very impressive piece of work...as infectious and as insistent a collection of power chords as anything I've heard this year . . . grinding up folks as disparate as Weezer and Nirvana and fusing them together in a pabst-fired kiln."
--John Chandler; The Rocket, issue no. 262
Minnesota Hotel established Pinehurst Kids as a recognizable sound on the indie music scene. The band’s sophomore effort, Viewmaster charted in the top 10 of the CMJ and recieved glowing press attention from everyone from Alternative Presss to Entertainment Weekly and accolades from industry big wigs and buddyhead bad boys alike.
Bleed It Dry, which hit stores in May 2001 features the mixing skills of John Goodmanson, whose credits include Harvey Danger, Sleater Kinney, Unwound, and Blonde Redhead. Larry Crane, known for his work with Elliot Smith, Quasi, the Go-Betweens, and Sleater Kinney, produced and engineered the record. This is the bands best sounding and most adventurous record.
The Kids have toured the entire US extensively, done countless west coast tours and played shows with the likes of Guided By Voices, Built To Spill, Death Cab For Cutie, Alkaline Trio and Superchunk. Their music can be heard on Fox and NBC TV programs including Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As the band approaches it's second decade of rock, they continue to kick out the jams that fans of the band have come to love.
