Pinkshift is an American rock band, consisting since 2022 of lead vocalist Ashrita Kumar, guitarist Paul Vallejo, and drummer Myron Houngbedji.
The band formed in Baltimore, Maryland in 2019, after the three members met at Johns Hopkins University and began writing music.
The group subsequently found Erich Weinroth after Kumar and Vallejo set up profiles on the dating app Tinder in search of a bassist.
However, the band's next single, "i'm gonna tell my therapist on you," released on July 31, 2020, marked the beginning of their rise to fame after the song went viral on Reddit and various punk musicians, like Chris No.
The record received positive reviews from critics, who noted how the album was "sharp, skilful [sic], and bristling with infectious energy".
