Motorcycles, blood, sex, guns and insanity. Not things you’d immediately associate with Reading’s prime guitar pop exponents, but then neither are phasing synths, sizzling psychedelia and the general atmosphere of darkness and thunder. Yet, these are the potent thrills P&TP are mixing into their infectious pop stew on their second album, ‘One Thousand Pictures’, that captures the sound of a band seamlessly moving up through the weight divisions – packing a greater punch, but losing none of the stream lined hooks and innate melodicism that defined their debut.
The album ‘One Thousand Pictures’ is out now.
Pete and the Pirates:
Thomas Sanders – Vocals/Guitars
Pete Dog – Bass/Vocals/keyboards
David Thorpe – Guitar
Jonny Sanders – Drums
Pete Hefferan – Guitar/Vocals
