Pinback is an indie rock band from San Diego, California, currently signed to Touch and Go Records . The band was formed in 1998 by singers, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Armistead Burwell Smith IV (also known as Zach Smith) and Rob Crow.

The band's moniker is a reference to a character in the film Dark Star (played by Dan O'Bannon, who also co-wrote the film), directed by John Carpenter. Samples from this film are used frequently in the band's early works.
