BIO:
PINCHpoint was originally formed in 1990 by Jack Boughner and David Smith. After releasing their six-song demo, Welcome to the Grind, PINCHpoint gained notoriety by doing shows throughout Southern California in addition to being a part of multiple compilations with their
track, “Stronghold”.

After writing “Scratch” as a PINCHpoint song, Boughner and Smith combined with Biohazard PCB (which later became contagion). “Scratch” came with them, became contagion’s most popular track and is still a staple at many clubs and playlists to this day.

Biohazard PCB/contagion performed throughout the early nineties with bands including Nitzer Ebb, Nine Inch Nails, A Split Second, Die Warzau and many others. Contagion was also direct support for the entire North American Tactical Neural Implant Tour for Frontline Assembly. After the disbanding of contagion, Boughner and Smith took a short break before reforming PINCHpoint . In the mid-nineties along with guitarist, Marque Rebmann, they became a strong presence in the Los Angeles Coldwave scene.

Soon after releasing their 1997 album, Ruth In Alien Corn, PINCHpoint disbanded and went their separate ways. Fast forward to early 2023 when PINCHpoint was approached to reform to contribute a track to Sacred Geometry; A Tribute to A Perfect Circle, released by Coitus Interruptus Productions. Boughner and Smith enjoyed working together again so much that it was decided to make PINCHpoint a full-time project.

Work began on new PINCHpoint material, beginning with the single “misery”, a remade/reimagined version of a song they released in the
late nineties. This is the first of many songs in the works that PINCHpoint look forward to sharing with the world.
