A band that easily recreates the dramatic bombast and minor chord melancholy of Radiohead, U2 and Our Lady Peace

Author & Special Guests

On their one and only release, the 1998 self-titled album by The Din Pedals walk the precarious line between the two, thanks to lead singer James Grundler's Thom York-like tenor, and a band that easily recreates the dramatic bombast and minor chord melancholy of Radiohead, U2 and Our Lady Peace.
