Pete – Pete

Artist: Pete

Title: Pete

Label: Warner Bros.

Rating: 7/10

Pete., yes, with a period, wants to be called a rock band. Period. When you hear the melody driven “Sweet Daze”, you’ll understand what these guys are about.

Pete. fuses current rock with the alternative spirit from a decade ago. “Drugstore Alibi” comes crashing, proving they aren’t about to let up. “Discontent” comes with a bang and then it gets a little heavy, only to then break out.

“Untied” is the chance for you to relax as Pete. downshifts even more into “Is She Coming Up”.

Pete. has the sound of a band that you can listen to more than once. A few songs get lost in the shuffle of what is a pretty solid offering. Just make sure you stick around for the sinister “Bury Me”.
