Pinch Hitter is a Chattanooga-based DIY indie rock band blending punk grit, rock ’n’ roll swagger, and vulnerable songwriting. Drawing on influences like Modest Mouse, Pixies, Tom Waits, and the raw energy of ’70s CBGB punk, their sound is both urgent and precise. Following their July 2025 release show at Songbirds for Songs From My Big Brain, Pinch Hitter is reaching new audiences across the Southeast while writing their third album, World War Whatever.
