Pin Me Down is a musical collaboration between Bloc Party’s guitarist Russell Lissack and vocalist Milena Mepris formerly of the electro-punk band Black Moustache.

The pair met in New York several years ago when Milena's old band were supporting Bloc Party. Having discovered a shared love of guitars and 80s and 90s artists like Kate Bush, Cyndi Lauper, New Order, Weezer, and Smashing Pumpkins, the pair decided to explore new frontiers together, fusing energetic pop vocals and melodies with the guttural, razor-sharp guitar sounds of the unknown, or “apocalyptic pop,” as Mépris likes to call it Due to their packed touring and music schedules, the pair worked from different parts of the globe using the internet and digital recording programs to email each other songs, while honing their sonic ideas and songwriting in the process. Pin Me Down released a single "Cryptic" last year, which came out on vinyl on the French label Kitsune and their debut album will be released later in 2010.

Time Crisis, was recorded with Daniel Lingren and Jamie Ellis in London, and Milena did the vocals in New York.
