Tinnitus Takes Down Iconic Frontman Rob Crow, Pinback's Future Uncertain

Rob Crow of Pinback, Plosivs and more has announced that he has to cancel all touring for the foreseeable future due to chronic tinnitus. Chronic tinnitus is a condition where sound is perceived as a persistent ringing or pitch in the ear. It can be debilitating, even in low volumes, like when singing on stage.

The news comes after Crow shared a heartfelt post on Plosivs' Instagram, revealing his struggle with the condition and its impact on his daily life. He's been trying various therapies but admits that even small tasks become difficult due to the constant ringing pitch at 11.1 kHz. Despite this, he's determined to stay positive and finish upcoming records.

With Pinback's scheduled show at the Rockaway Hotel in NYC and Plosivs' dates including Brooklyn's Mu, fans are disappointed but understanding of Crow's decision. The music world is left wondering what the future holds for these beloved bands without their iconic frontman on stage.
