6Pinn Panelle are an electronic rock band originating in 2007 in Boston, USA. They're known for their unique mixture of {{hard rock}}, [[ElectronicMusic electronica,]] {{classical music}}, and {{dubstep}}, which they have termed "Epic Music." They've done several [[CoverVersion covers]] on Website/YouTube of electronic artists such as Music/{{Skrillex}} and ''Nero,'' which showcase their original methods of [[RuleOfCool turning rock instruments into electronic ones.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuunY8BTqNs See for yourself what we mean.]]

8From the band's [[http://pinnpanelle.com website:]]
9-> (Pronounced "Pin Puh-nell")
10-> "Pinn Panelle comes from the words "Pin Panel" being made to sound like a human name. "Pin Panel" refers to the face of a Pachinko game machine, and to us, the act of turning those words into a human name relates to how people turn to technology and other artificial things for comfort, or for love."

12They've released one [[SelfTitledAlbum studio album,]] and are currently working on a second, with one single released so far.

23!! Examples:
24
25* {{Dubstep}}: Played on rock instruments, no less.
26* LeadBassist: Nathan Navarro, definitely. He's a perfect Type A, being skilled in rock, [[HeavyMetal metal,]] {{jazz}}, and {{funk}}-style playing. He was already famous on Website/YouTube for his {{dubstep}} bass guitar [[https://www.youtube.com/user/unoriginalson songs and covers]] when he joined the band.
27** That being said, all of the members of Pinn Panelle are quite talented in their own right, so Nathan doesn't overshadow them as much as he ''might.''
28* NobodyLovesTheBassist: Completely inverted. See "Lead Bassist" above.
29* RockTrio: For a few years, including when their first album was recorded.
30* {{Sampling}}: ''Lots and lots.'' All of it triggered by Justin and Jonah ''while also playing instruments'' during live performances.
31* SelfTitledAlbum: Currently their only one.
