The Pinstripes

The Pinstripes

The Pinstripes are a seven-piece traditional ska band from Cincinnati, Ohio. They play a combination of ska, reggae, rocksteady, soul, and punk.

They have been influenced by bands such as The Skatalites, The Slackers, John Brown's Body, and other ska and reggae acts. The Pinstripes have shared the stage with The Toasters, Catch 22, Mustard Plug, Westbound Train, The Know How, Big D and the Kids Table and The Aggrolites.

The band was formed in October 2003, and starting in 2004, they released a series of short EPs. They released a split EP with fellow Cincinnati ska-rockers The Prairie Dog Gangsters, and an acoustic EP in December 2005. In 2006, the band independently recorded and released its first full-length album, "Higher Ground". In a review for AbsolutePunk.net, Brandon Allin wrote:

"Higher Ground is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive, commendable, and downright dazzling offerings a label-free group has ever constructed. The hooks shine at every opportunity, the instrumentation is impeccable, and the overall presentation is near flawless."fact|date=April 2008
In June 2007, they released "The Decay" which draws more from traditional ska and reggae than any previous release.
