About
The Pinkerton Raid makes ebullient, dynamic indie pop. Their live shows can feature anywhere from six to 10 musicians. They’ve played festivals and music series across the Eastern and Midwest US and have shared stages with David Wimbish & The Collection, Lowland Hum, Noah Gunderson, Denison Witmer and The Soil & The Sun. Their self-titled debut and follow-up A Beautiful World won critical acclaim.
Months before its February 2017 release, critics were already praising their latest effort, Tolerance Ends, Love Begins, comparing the sound to acts like The National, Ra Ra Riot, Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens. “The group recalls the hey-day of indie rock,” wrote Louise Parker at Paste Magazine. “Stunning … glorious … intricate … playful,” described Emily Hinde at No Depression. “Exquisite,” wrote Meredith Schneider at Impose. “The emotion pulling you from your seat as you sway your hips.”
