THE PEAWEES Bring Back Rock ‘N' Roll

Six years after Italian rock 'n' roll band The Peawees gave us their critically acclaimed album “Moving Target,” they’ve finally returned with their 7th studio album, One Ride. It's been a long wait, one that includes line-up changes, divorces, lost loved ones, job troubles - whatever hardship was thrown at The Peawees, One Ride makes it clear that it only made them stronger. This album seethes with the rock 'n' roll swagger of a bygone era, and the band shows the rare ability to wear their influences on their sleeves with a sound that feels unique. The mix of rock 'n' roll, soul, punk, and garage spins on the record like it came straight out of a blender: one part The Sonics, one part Link Wray, two parts The Clash, a splash of Stax shaken over Phil Spector and served like it was thrown straight in your face.

Approaching their 30-year mark, the band continues to defy convention and write their own epic on the vast canvas of contemporary rock 'n' roll. One Ride is "a true showcase for the criminally underrated songwriting talents of Hervé Peroncini." Once more, The Peawees do not disappoint: as the saying goes…all killer, no filler.

The isolation and the unexpected surroundings became fertile ground for creativity, turning adversity into an advantage. The unique circumstances under which One Ride was conceived added a layer of raw authenticity to the album. Stories of outsiders, dreamlike lyrics that drag you into nocturnal situations, a sick love, frustration, indecision, resignation, and moments of crazy euphoria suck you into the grooves of a record that exudes rock 'n' roll in every aspect.

The Peawees' journey to One Ride is a testament to their enduring spirit and unwavering commitment to their craft. With One Ride, The Peawees prove that their creative fire burns brighter than ever.
