A few weeks ago, a little birdy was kind enough to tip me off on
Petey, an upstart Raleigh, NC trio whose clangy chords and feeble yet encouraging vocal presence ooze a purist indie-rock aesthetic resulting in substantive tunes like "Our Own Names" and "Louder Hawks." Petey's tinny sonic template is refreshingly minimalist and organic, making it a solid antidote to the current hipster morass that I find so unstimulating. You can stream and/or buy (digitally) the band's c-side ep on their
Bandcamp site. I should also note that a single is to follow...
