The Tins

The Tins are an indie rock trio hailing from Buffalo, New York. The band, which is made up of Michael Santillo (vocals, keyboard), Adam Putzer (guitar, vocals) and David Muntner (drums, backing vocals) credit influences ranging from The Kinks and Badfinger to Animal Collective and Peter Bjorn and John. Together, they craft tight, masterfully layered songs that PopMatters calls “all the right sounds and all the right feelings.” Their new EP, Young Blame, shows the band’s evolution while continuing along the successful path they forged with ‘Life’s a Gas,’ their 2012 full-length LP. Their newest release, ‘Young Blame’ explores themes of movement, says the band: “moving forward, moving on, moving into the unknown, regardless of the consequences.” Commended by Performer Magazine for their “jubilant harmonies, keyboard flourishes and relentless hook-filled rhythms,” The Tins have come far since their early days in an underground practice space at New York State’s Binghamton University.
