Here's another slice of English post punk from the nostalgic Pete & The Pirates. This quintessentially English band are based in Reading and have been knocking around the indie undergrowth since 2008 supporting the likes of Vampire Weekend and Maximo Park. There sound is built upon aggressive repetitive guitar riffs and energetic vocals. They have been compared to the likes of The Futureheads and Arctic Monkeys but this 5-piece are distinctly more mature and have a certain wistful indie charm to them. They have a new album due out in May and 2 tracks that have been doing the rounds show off what we can expect from Pete & The Pirates this year try Winter 1:
Winter 1 by Pete and The Pirates
....and current single and on my playlist: Come To The Bar
Ladies and Gentlemen, keep your eyes out for Pete & The Pirates! If you didn't catch them live a couple of years ago on the back of their debut album - check them out them out now! This year they will be landing at SXSW and playing a few warm ups including Heaven (quickly becoming my favourite venue) in London on 26th May .... Buy a ticket or 2....
Happy Friday!
