Buy It
I remember encountering Pete and The Pirates, oddly enough whilst working for a pirate radio station in Reading. This was 3 years ago but even then they were engaging, different, friendly and generally a good laugh.
I have been awaiting this album since then and it does not dissapoint. They have produced such a beautiful album which has soul and enough to sustain itself from the great opening of I'll Love and Come On Feet through to the end.
Who do they sound like? Well personally I feel they sound like The Bees but without the psychedilia side, the harmonies are very similar and they have that certain roughness in the recording.
The press reviews have all been promising and I really hope they get the credit they deserve, its been a while since Reading had a band with so much talent.
Still the best debut album of 2008...
IMO that is. The album has had more repeated playings than any other album I've bought this year, beating off the likes of MGMT, Kings Of Leon, Hot Chip, etc. The whole album is great but my personal favourite track has to be 'Eyes like Tar'. I hope the guys can follow up album with something equally as good.
Very good first effort
I was at the same gig in Exeter Cavern as Gregg (supporting equally excellent Young Knives). They churn out decent melodic indie pop rock, with good harmonies from the singers. The production on this album seems to improve as the album goes on but I like a bit of rough round the edges.
Some of the lyrics are a bit sixth form poetry but overall I really liked it musically and they could go far!
