Aeroplane Pick of the Day Turn Up The Volume

“If you’re still celebrating New Year, you really should add this titillating track to your party playlist. Imagine 60s British glam rock legends T. Rex and American sassy duo Royal Trux jamming together. Aeroplane grooves and moves with pithy panache and steaming swagger. Add the saucy and sensual duet vocals, and we have ourselves a sonic winner. Party on, folks.”

“The recording personnel for the ‘Let It Be So’ EP is A-List all the way. Legendary producer Chris 'Frenchie’ Smith (who’s also a Sixteen Deluxe bandmate with Carrie) was at the production helm once again … Joey Shuffield on drums and Bobby Daniel on bass are also top notch pros … Like singer and guitarist Pam Peltz says, ‘We are at home in this, specifically with this incarnation of musicians. It feels very natural. It feels like it’s just in our DNA. We’re not even thinking about rocking. We just do it.’”

“Say hello to the new Let It Be So EP by The Living Pins. Singer and guitarist (and Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee) Carrie Clark, has this to say about the four new songs, “I think that we keep riding on that 70s FM radio vibe. We all grew up listening to FM radio, and we love the way that when you listen to everything from T. Rex to AC/DC to Slade to ELO and ABBA, there’s a fullness of sound and a wave that envelopes you and that can take you out of your present moment.”

“If Carrie Clark and Pam Peltz look familiar, it’s because you recognize the badasses in the house. Clark played guitar and provided vocals for Sixteen Deluxe, Peltz for Ursa Major, back in the mid ’90s. The proof is in the shreds that The Living Pins delivers. It started as a side project that almost faded away, but in the fall of 2020 the duo got into a studio with producer Jeff Copas and created their debut EP Freaky Little Monster Children (2021), hailed as “a trip, and it’s a journey” by Trebelzine, and “…impossibly cool” by AV Club. Multiple levels of cool, actually, mixing ’60s psych and ’90s alt.-rock riffs in raw, crunchy fashion. Big sound, big fun.
The band released the new singles “Aeroplane” (featured on today’s AMM) and “Scorpion” just ahead of their forthcoming EP Let It Be So, out next week.”

“Say hello to the new Let It Be So EP by The Living Pins. Singer and guitarist Carrie Clark, (and Austin Music Hall of Fame inductee) has this to say about the four new songs, ‘I think that we keep riding on that 70s FM radio vibe.

Rex to AC/DC to Slade to ELO and ABBA, there’s a fullness of sound and a wave that envelopes you and that can take you out of your present moment. On this EP, ‘Love Is 4’ and ‘Aeroplane’ are more on the AC/DC side, like if Marc Bolan and Rob Halford were hanging out. And then ‘Scorpion’ has some Paisley Underground, you know, Dream Syndicate and Rain Parade, woven into it … plus it’s a story-telling song. And those were really big on FM radio. So it’s like a 70s story song with these beautiful affected guitars that come from our own live music experience. And then ‘Starlight’ is just fun.’”

“Aeroplane“ single premiere in Glide 2023

“‘Aeroplane,’ the kind of straightforward rock and roll track that is all too uncommon these days. The band hits with a stomping beat, big soaring guitars, and fierce vocals that find Carrie and Pam leaning into shifty vocal interplay and harmonies. The occasional slash of guitar shredding cuts through it all. Taken as a whole, these ingredients make for a truly rousing rock and roll anthem that could command an arena stage as much as it could a bar room.”
