HORACE PINKER

For more than three decades, Horace Pinker has done things their own way - releasing records independently, touring relentlessly, and building a worldwide following without chasing trends or fitting neatly into any category or genre.

Formed in Tempe, Arizona and long based in Chicago, Horace Pinker has toured more than 20 countries across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and South America while releasing seven full-length albums alongside numerous EPs and compilations - including a release on Fat Wreck Chords and a split EP with Face to Face.

In 2025, Horace Pinker returned with Now and the Future, the band’s first full-length album since 2011’s Local State Inertia. Recorded at Chicago's Bombshelter Recording Studio with producer Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie), the record captures a band that remains as urgent and relevant as ever - combining sharp melodies, driving rhythms, thoughtful lyrics, and the energy that has defined Horace Pinker from the beginning.

The momentum continued into 2026, releasing a split EP with The Raging Nathans, featuring the Horace Pinker tracks “Another Way” and “Redeemer.” The release was followed by extensive touring across the United States and a European tour, joining Pulley for a run that included festival appearances at Brakrock in Belgium, Punk Rock Holiday in Slovenia, and Tells Bells in Germany. The band continues touring throughout 2026 with a return to Florida for appearances at FEST 24 and the SmartPunk Pre-FEST shows.

And they're not slowing down. With new material already being written and another release taking shape for 2027, Scott Eastman (guitar/vocals), Bryan Jones (drums), Greg Mytych (bass/vocals) and Don Meehleis (guitar/vocals) continue doing what Horace Pinker has always done - releasing records, getting in the van, and moving forward.

This isn't a reunion.
