Help Out the Pinstripes Release Their New Album

Ohio’s own, the Pinstripes have an album that is ready to go. Almost ready to go that is. They need some cash to make it happen. So, they’re takin’ it to Kickstarter to try and get the funds. Seriously, check out all the information. Every donation level gets you special things from the band for helping them out. Heck, if you donate even $1 you’ll get a digital EP! I’ve never seen an offer on Kickstarter like that for a dollar! Usually a buck gets you a “thanks,” here the band is giving you music for your money! DO IT!
