Pete no longer goes by the Comb-overs. Just by Pete Davis now. Change your tags!

The Comb-Overs is the acoustic ‘one-man-band’ of New Jersey’s Pete Davis. He originally started recording at home with a 16-track and a few instruments, but has upped his musical arsenal to include acoustic (and the rare electric) guitars, piano, bass, drums, keyboard and synth arrangements, bells, cello, banjo, and accordion, all of which can be heard throughought the albums and all of which are played by Pete himself.

In late 2002 Pete recorded his first EP “Tentatively Self-titled” which showcased a few simple folkish songs and one full-band recording (featuring drums, piano, and bass tracks). However the recording and performance quality was harshly unpleasant. During the next year he put out his second release, the LP “Passing It Off as Art.” The new album was a bit more adventurous, offering more instrument variation and even an a cappella song (‘Planted’). In the Summer of 2003 he released a short EP entitled “Common Houseplants EP” which consisted of five songs that were originally meant to be on the upcomming full-length but were removed to help fluidity of the album. In the Winter he released his second full-length, “The Waterworks.” It featured more full recordings, an overall darker undertone, and a relative theme throughout the entire album.

Ok... I'll have to take it all back. Your music is actually my thing after all. Gibberish and Miles Worth of Maybes are just a few notes short of purely magical. Keep up the good work, man!

Hi Pete, My friend Dufsa guided me here... Your music isn't really my thing but who can resist a band called Comb-overs?! :D Btw... I actually loved And So You Exist No More. It's a really good song. Take care and keep writing!

Hey, Pete... I love your stuff. You have a genuine talent. I'm going to fill up my iPod with your songs, they're just great!!! I heard so many singer-songwriters over the years, and most of them just go past your ears, you know what I mean... But this sticks. Can't wait to hear more. Love, /J
