Short Bio:
"KINCH is Phoenix's answer to The Strokes, The Arcade Fire, and all the other "the" bands.
Musically tight and a whole helluva lot more humble." - Felipe Gunn Modified Arts
KINCH just released their debut album, "Advances," and
is touring extensively to support it.
The KINCH lineup consists of:
Andrew Junker Vocals, Piano, Guitar
Brian Coughlin Guitar
Jake Malone Drums
Bryan Witt Bass
"With the release of Advances, Kinch have shown that they are the next must hear band out of Phoenix.
Despite Advances only being their debut record, there is a sophistication and maturity many acts never
reach, much less begin with. Their pop sensibilities have been drawing comparisons to Coldplay and The Strokes,
but they are much closer to rock bands like The Hold Steady, Koufax, or Gang Of Four."
- Stephen Chilton, PHXAgenda.com
Advances was recorded with borrowed and E-Bayed gear in the home of guitarist Brian Coughlin. It was produced by KINCH and their longtime friend Alex Pasco (French Kicks, MURS). It was self-released digitally for free on April 4th, 2008 via kinchband.com.
