Pin Me Down probably wouldn’t exist without the magic of the "internets" (as ex-President Bush gloriously renamed them a few years ago). The band is an electro-pop-rock cocktail (according to its members, their genre is “apocalyptic pop”), consisting of spicy vocalist Milena Mepris, a multi-talented musician from New York, and her illustrious foreign friend, Russell Lissack, in-your-face lead-guitarist from UK indie-sensation Bloc Party. After almost 5 years of constructing songs through email exchanges, the duo has finally finished working on their self-titled debut, which was released this April on Milena’s own label ‘Animalized Music’ – and it’s available for download pretty much anywhere on the… internets, of course! – Mikhael Agafonov
