The Tins

**The Tins** are a spirited indie rock trio hailing from Buffalo, New York, known for blending post-punk energy with catchy pop hooks. Formed in 2009, the band features Mike Santillo (keys/vocals), Dave Muntner (guitar/vocals), and Adam Putzer (drums), serving up a mix of wiry guitar riffs, synth-driven grooves, and introspective lyrics. They gained traction with their self-titled debut album (2013) and tightened their sound on follow-ups like *City Lies* (2016), showcasing their knack for moody anthems and danceable angst.

With a DIY ethos and a reputation for electrifying live shows, The Tins have shared stages with acts like Ra Ra Riot and Tokyo Police Club. Their recent releases, including the brooding *City Lies II* and the punchy *Boulder Soul*, highlight their evolution toward grittier textures while staying rooted in their knack for melodic storytelling. Whether crafting split singles (*Not a Second Time / Shelter from the Storm*) or lean, hooky bangers (*Young Blame*), they keep their indie-rock heartbeat fresh and unapologetically raw.
