The Peawees

One Ride

(Wild Honey)



Caring about naught but good-times soundtracking (a fine ambition), these graduates of garageland craft Pop-Punk mini-classics that put in mind the swingingly educative Pebbles vinyl series. "Whoa-woah" background harmonies endemic to joy-ringing 1960s transistor grooves like the Turtles (and resuscitated by Joey R.) are buoyed by  ebullient guitars. Even an Everlys shard skims past. Rhythms spur kicks, as shimmers frolic under cascading fun-falls.

Recommended: "Banana Tree," "Drive," "Plastic Bullets," "The Wolf," "Lost In the Middle," "She Cries As She Kills," "Who's the Enemy?," "Spell On Me," "Before I Die," "One Ride," "You'll Never Be Mine Again"

Video: "Drive"   "Plastic Bullets"   (live) "The Wolf"
