With a name like Pinback, You'd figure they would be pop punk or even a rock or metal band. They're actually named after a character in the 1974 indy film/space comedy "Dark Star" - so that's pretty Indie. I guess because they're an indie duo, and a project, in my head I automatically compare them to The Postal Service. They're totally different though - They're the more laid back type and use the guitar to drive their rhythms.
