If It's Too Loud...

At this point, we know what to expect from The Peawees. The Italian garage rock band are masters of adding some soul and pop hooks into their raw rock sound. Their latest single, "Banana Tree," is a rough rocker that is smoothed out just enough by the pop and soul sensibilities to make it unbearably catchy. This is just a killer rock and roll song, pure and simple. The Peawees even add a spaghetti western guitar solo just to keep things interesting and sounding even cooler. Herve Peroncini says of his band's latest single: "During the pandemic, I was stuck in Tenerife in the Canary Islands. While I was there, I bought a guitar from an Egyptian guy for 30 euros to pass the time, and that's where I wrote most of our new album. I heard about a criminal who had fled Italy and come to the islands to start a new life—a plan gone wrong. It was the story that inspired me to write 'Banana Tree.'"

Italian garage rock heroes The Peawees have added a little bit of Spanish flair to their latest single. "Lost in the Middle" is a rock and roll number that is perfect for fans of pure rock music. Plus, they throw in a surf rock/Link Wray inspired guitar solo for added effect. As catchy as the chorus in "Lost in the Middle" is, it's the guitars that are the true heroes of the song. The Peawees have added a little more pop to the song than is typical in garage rock, but that doesn't dull the edge of the song at all. Somehow, it makes the song bite just a little rougher. You can listen to "Lost in the Middle" below. One Ride is due out September 6 on Spaghetty Town Records and Wild Honey Records.

Italian garage rockers The Peawees have another new single out ahead of a new album in September. "Plastic Bullets" is a little more power pop than pure garage rock, but there is plenty of grit within the shine of the song. It reminds me of Cheap Trick merged with 80's Ramones when they were trying to break through with a hit. It's showing off The Peawees punk roots while also showcasing their killer songwriting chops. "Plastic Bullets" is perfect for any fan of power pop, garage rock, and/or punk. You can listen to "Plastic Bullets" below. The song is available as a 7" single with a cover of Bob Dylan's "Baby, I'm in the Mood for You" here . One Ride is due out September 6 on Wild Honey Records.

Hailing from Italy, The Peawees have been making garage rock since 1995. Their latest single, "The Wolf," is just pure, shiny garage rock. The guitar riff has such a strong groove to it that you'll be immediately hooked, and it pairs perfectly with vocals that go between hypnotic and slacker. The Peawees have always added soul to their garage rock, and "The Wolf" includes some horror style surf rock guitar, making this one of the most fun rock songs we've heard all year. Sometimes you just need a fun song to rock out to, and The Peawees are perfect for that. You can watch the video for "The Wolf" below. One Ride is due out September 6 on Wild Honey Records and Spaghetty Town Records. For more on The Peawees, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram .
