THE PEAWEES

 

NEW SINGLE 'BANANA TREE' OUT NOW

 

NEW ALBUM 'ONE RIDE' OUT ON 6 SEPTEMBER VIA WILD HONEY RECORDS

The Peawees will release their new album 'One Ride' on 6th September via Wild Honey Records.

 

New single 'Banana Tree' is pure rock'n'roll. With its repetitive lead guitar joined by the soul-influenced rhythm, pounding verse and driving chorus, 'Banana Tree' becomes a true soul-inspired garage rocker. Based on a true story, it tells the tale of a convicted felon who escaped to the Canary Islands to start a new life working in a banana field. After several failed attempts to convince him to come back, the authorities went to get him and all his plans for a new life went up in smoke. Lead singer 'Hervé' recalls: "During the pandemic, I was stuck in Tenerife in the Canary Islands. While 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 fled Italy and came to the islands to start a new life - a plan gone wrong. It was the story that inspired me to write 'Banana Tree'".

The band have previously shared three tracks taken from the upcoming album: 'The Wolf', a powerful song that meanders between garage, rock'n'roll and soul, all served with a modern touch, 'Plastic Bullets', an in-your-face instant punk classic and 'Lost in the Middle', a driving, garage-punk soundtrack to a love gone sour

Active for over 25 years, The Peawees have taken their Punk Rock roots and dosed them with R'n'B, Roots Rock, Soul and Garage influences while staying true to their rock'n'roll upbringings. The result is a unique sound that has taken them touring across the globe, where they have shared the stage and toured with the likes of The Sonics, The Fleshtones, The Dwarves and Radio Birdman.

 

The current line-up consists of founding frontman and songwriter Hervé Peroncini, ex-Nick Curran and The Lowlifes drummer and Texican transplant to Italy Tommy Gonzalez, Dario Persi (guitar, backing vocals) and Fabio Clemente (bass). Associated acts include Hervé's guitar and songwriting work for Nikki Corvette and a recent Peawees collaboration with Mark Arm of Mudhoney.
