"Catchy as hell." - Hear Ya

"They are savvy -- in how they craft piano-driven hooks, in how they market themselves, in how they have built a fan base" - So Much Silence
Cousins Andrew Junker and Brian Coughlin, along with lifelong friend Jake Malone, make up the piano-heavy indie rock band KINCH. The band calls Phoenix, AZ their home, but they have been making noise nationally, with official appearances at festivals like Austin’s SXSW, Noisepop and Van’s Warped Tour.
On Sept. 10, they embark on a full U.S. tour with Dear and the Headlights, and will be playing a string of dates with Local H later in the year.
“Collars and Sleeves” follows Kinch’s debut album "Advances" — declared "Best Arizona Album of 2008" by The Phoenix New Times — and their three song EP, “The Economic Chastisement,” released in February 2009.
Beginning on September 1st, fans can download digital copies of “Collars and Sleeves” for free from the band’s Web site, www.kinchband.com.
