Reading, England (2005 – present)
Pete & The Pirates are an indie rock band from Reading, England. Bright, young commanders of a brand of unique Englishness, their blend of smooth edged punk and pop produces music which is sweet, raw, joyous, melancholic, raucous and tender. The Pirates’ idiosyncratic and endearing song writing puts them somewhere between the Flying Nun band Tall Dwarfs and the wistful reflection of On The Beach-era Neil Young.
The band was formed in 2005 and consists of Tommy Sanders (vocals), Peter Cattermoul (bass/vocals), David Thorpe (guitar), Jonny Sanders (drums) and Peter Hefferan (guitar/vocals).
Their debut 12-track album was produced by Gareth Parton (The Killers, The Go! Team, The Futureheads and Neil’s Children) and was released in January 2007.
The bands singles ‘Come On Feet’ and ‘Knots’ were released in 2007 on Stolen Recordings. Since then the band have released four more singles. Most notably ‘Mr. Understanding’ in 2008.
At the beginning of 2009 they released a double Aside of ‘Blood Gets Thin’ and ‘Jennifer’ and are currently working on their second album due for release in the first part of 2010. Working again with Gareth Parton.
All releases are available through up and coming label, Stolen Recordings, at www.stolenrecordings.co.uk or their Myspace
