Pinback's ex-vocalist made headlines last year when he announced that he was quitting the industry, claiming that music had made him "financially irresponsible" to his family.

"I have come to the realization that making music in this climate is financially irresponsible to my family and ultimately humiliating to the psyche," Crow wrote in a Facebook post last March. "My kids are growing and my downstairs studio would probably be put to better use as a bedroom."

Crow formed Pinback in the late 90's with Armistead Burwell Smith IV, releasing their debut album, "This is a Pinback CD" in 1999. The band's last release was 2012's "Information Retrieved." Regarding solo projects, Crow has released six albums, most recently 2011's "He Think He's People."

He's also involved in several other acts such as Goblin Cock, Other Men, Zach Hill And The Holy Smokes, Thingy and more.

Gloomy Place's new album "You're Doomed. Be Nice" releases on March 4.
