Search - Peter Parker :: Migliore!

Imagine if the Fastbacks and the (old) Buzzcocks had a baby--it'd be pop-smart and savvy, and full of (s)punk. That pretty much describes Seattle's Peter Parker, which is a band, not a person. Like their progenitors, they most certainly have songs filled with hooks and guitars--the bonus being that they can all actually sing. Even when they kick down the tempo a little, as on "Hate for Hesitation," there's an odd jubilation in the sadness. This isn't pretty '60s pop--it owes as much to everything that's happened in the '90s as to what's gone before--but the choruses might as well be covered in Velcro in the way they stick to your brain. --Chris Nickson
