PINCH POINTS burst forth from the Melbourne underground in 2018 with ‘MECHANICAL INJURY’, which was one of four Australian releases included in Bandcamp's 'Best 100 Releases of 2018’. After releasing their debut LP ‘MOVING PARTS’, they were hailed by Double J as “the sharpest new band in the country”, awarded Music Victoria’s Best Breakthrough Act of 2020, toured with Tropical Fuck Storm, supported Amyl and the Sniffers, Kikagaku Moyo and Viagra Boys and opened 2020's Golden Plains to a packed amphitheatre. 2022 saw the release of their second album ‘PROCESS’ through Mistletone (AU/NZ), Exploding In Sound (US) and Erste Theke Tontraeger (EU), which received worldwide acclaim. Following the release, PINCH POINTS completed a successful 21-date tour throughout EU/UK, and supported IDLES on all their Australian tour dates. ‘PROCESS’ won Music Victoria’s Best Rock/Punk work, was nominated for the Australia Music Prize, and was included in NME’s Best 25 Australian Albums of the Year.
