The Tins Premieres at Wild Honey Pie
Head over to the Buzzing Daily blog on The Wild Honey Pie to check out the premiere of The Tins’ new single “Oh My God” from their upcoming self-titled release The Tins, out June 1st. And check them out on the official Buzzing Daily Spotify playlist.
“This track, led by a strong, groovy, rhythmic bass line, is one that accomplishes The Tins’ goal: to make people dance. As I write this, I can’t stop from bopping along at my wifi-equipped bar, and I don’t really care who’s looking at me out of the corner of their eyes. Using the guitar very definitively as a rhythm instrument, there are no unnecessary frills here. It’s beautifully polished bare bones — exactly what you need to get hooked. I don’t know whether to call this pop, rock, or what, but I also don’t think it matters. The slightly unexpected turns the melody takes, both in shape and rhythm, keeps you itching for more. The asides like “and then I wrote this” keep this song accessible, and the repeated “Oh my God” resonates with everyone, no matter what you believe in. That’s a phrase that seems to slip out in times of shock or desperation like an involuntary reflex. It’s one that rests in a very specific place in the gut when you hear someone say it.
Everything comes together so smoothly and seamlessly in this track, down to the ambiguous fade-out, leaving you wondering where it might go next.
