Artist: Linchpin
Album Title: Small Town Theory

These four guys hail from London. Have already impressed Dave Grohl, and have a string of influential bands as friends. And now they present their public with an incredible mini album. 'Small Town Theory' is a catchy mix of pop-punk melodies. Linchpin take something common and use it to their own devices, which is something we need at a time of forever changing genres. In fact I can?t pigeon-hole this band at all. Having just completed a mammoth tour around London and Wales, Linchpin have gathered quite a following. And who can blame them. With such songs like 'Can't Explain' and 'Hypochondriac' they can't go wrong, and they will certainly find their way out of Kent.


Almost every band has a trademark ?love song?. Linchpin has 'All I Want'. With its heart stopping rhythm, and affectionate lyrics. I'm sure any girl would want this song sung for her. This is a mini album for those kids still searching for who they are. And to be honest I haven't spent a day without listening to it. 'Small Town Theory' is all about growing up and getting out. With skills and talents like these you can't tell they're just teenagers. And in the words of Dave Grohl they're 'Fucking Awesome'.
