UK TOUR – AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2009
--------------------------------------------------------
Embarking on a double headlining tour in August/September, alternative rockers and veterans on the UK live scene LINCHPIN, alongside the up and coming funk-pop-rock quartet CARPE DIEM are eagerly awaiting the public reaction as they plan to take over the UK this summer.
LINCHPIN are a band that have been on the scene for a while, and since a tender age have built up an army of fans, including the likes of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl who claims the four young lads to be “fucking awesome!”. Over the last few years they have done what many bands can only dream of. Their first video was downloaded 33,000 times, and their debut ep was even produced by Joel and Benji Madden from Good Charlotte, which was released on Good Charlottes own DC Flag label back in 2005. They have supported the likes of Good Charlotte, Fightstar, Senses Fail, The Glitterati, (to name but a few), whilst receiving the prestigious “KKKK” rating in Kerrang magazine as well as being praised also by Metal Hammer and Rock Sound magazine and The Independant, and even playing this years Download Festival on the prestigious Red Bull Stage. Off the back of their recent festival endeavour, the band are looking to continue to storm the UK throughout the Summer.

“Fucking awesome!” – Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters
“KKKK” “From the moment they step on stage, The Pitz is reduced to an all-singing, all-dancing throng of hopelessly devoted fanatics. Fanatics that know every word to every song and sing them with a passion that borders on hysteria. Their sheer style and confidence far outweighs their tender years. But whats truly remarkable is that you get the feeling this is only the beginning for Linchpin. They’re blessed with the songs, the potential, and – crucially – the passion to do it on their own terms…”
- Kerrang Magazine review
Carpe Diem are fresh on the scene and already after only forming in early 2009 already have a huge local fan base and a great deal of hype surrounding the band. Within 2 weeks of their myspace page being online, their demos had been receiving up to 700 plays a day. Creating a fresh and unique sound, of pop-rock tinged with funk and oozing with talent, they have played a number of local sell out shows, and are awaiting a huge promotional national launch over the summer, aided by their double headlining tour with Linchpin. A band with a big future ahead of them, and with huge plans for the end of 2009 including a single release, there has already been a great deal of interest and anticipation surrounding the band. With individual members having prestigious previous achievements behind them, together they provide an unstoppable force to be reckoned with.
