Holy Pinto

Holy Pinto’s songs move between indie-pop, punk energy, and detailed storytelling

Holy Pinto is the indie project of songwriter Aymen Saleh, who says he grew up in Canterbury, England and now lives in Milwaukee. The supplied interviews describe a process built around songwriting first, with live performance arriving as a later and welcome part of the project. Saleh also says he has leaned toward indie pop, while drawing on punk, bigger arrangements, and music that feels narrative. Across the materials, Holy Pinto appears as a project that keeps changing rooms: from solo writing to collaboration, from bar-room conversations to carefully built records.
