Peach Pit
Recommended
Peach Pit describe their style as "chewed up bubblegum pop"—which is fitting—but I'd add that their sound is also informed by a heavy dose of "dad rock." And earnestness. The indie-rock outfit from Vancouver, BC (though you'd think they were Georgia natives), combine clean, complex, and jammy guitar riffs with narrative and unique lyricism. "Seventeen" is a bright, upbeat tune about being an asshole teen; "Alrighty Aphrodite" is a broody, riff-heavy rumination on a fickle lover. If their Audiotree Live page is any indication, Peach Pit give a solid live performance. And, like cartoon characters, they wear the exact same clothes at seemingly every public appearance. Keep an eye out.
