Cub Scout Bowling Pins

One of the countless musical projects to emerge from the imagination of Robert Pollard, Cub Scout Bowling Pins gives him and his Guided by Voices bandmates a chance to explore other sides of their musical personality. While featuring the same lineup as GbV circa 2021, Cub Scout Bowling Pins moves their emphasis away from their vintage rock and prog rock influences in favor of lighter and more tuneful sounds that recall bubblegum and classic AM pop, but with a relatively harder attack and greater guitar punch. CSBP made their debut in January 2021 with the EP Heaven Beats Iowa, while a full-length album, Clang Clang Ho, was released that June.
