SINS, (formerly The Pretty Visitors) present their debut single ‘Staircase’. The track shadows that cherished indie sound, introduced in the early 00’s with a smooth injection of punk-rock attitude and swagger. SINS introduce an exciting new approach to indie music, with embellished guitar solos and stir-crazy riffs, whilst still maintaining that underground sweaty gig application we all know and love – a true live experience.

As heard on Radio X, BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing, and featured on ITV’s - This Morning, SINS are a four piece unsigned indie rock band hailing from the South Coast.

From meeting at college, jamming in a small shed, and playing dingy pubs in their hometown, the band have honed their craft and have created an unbreakable bond.

After a number of years apart, through university and travels, the band have been writing and performing prolifically, with an arsenal of exciting new music to show. All music is co-written by the band collectively, with Connor Reid (lead singer and guitar) providing the lyrics.

SINS are a charismatic and energetic live band who never fail to raise the roof. With an ever growing, loyal fan base, the band regularly sell out gigs on their home turf, whilst gaining support from local and national radio, extensive press attention and features with each and every release.

Live, the band have headlined local festival Ice Breaker (Portsmouth), alongside huge sellout shows at The Wedgewood Rooms (Portsmouth), The Joiners (Southampton), Spice of Life (London), Heartbreakers (Southampton), plus countless support slots for touring bands such as Circa Waves, Jaws, Sisteray and The Family Rain.

With their previous two singles ‘Western Skies’ and ‘Head in the Sand’, SINS have received plaudits from press, radio and fans a-plenty. Support has come from the likes of Radio X, BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing, This Feeling,Indie Music Central, Modern Age Music, 3RRR, Orbital Radio and Express FM.
