Pinebarren

Pinebarren is an indie rock band based in Vancouver, BC, formed by members from across the world. Their sound blends the melodic sweep of The Killers with the warmth of Tom Petty and the atmospheric textures of Radiohead, creating a nostalgic yet contemporary style that listeners and reviewers have described as glistening, polished, and emotionally direct.

Since forming in 2019, the band has built a reputation for tight songwriting and dynamic live shows. Their self-produced debut album, Past Time, arrived in March 2023, capturing themes of reflection, connection, and growing up in a changing world. They followed with their breakout 2023 single What You Gave, praised for its blend of new-wave synths, driving bass, and anthemic choruses. Reviewers highlighted the track’s “lush, alluring” production and its ability to balance uplifting energy with honest, introspective lyrics — a combination that has become a hallmark of the band’s live performances.

Pinebarren’s upcoming EP, Arbutus, arrives March 6, 2026, marking a confident next chapter in their evolving sound
