Pete & The Pirates ‘She Doesn’t Belong To Me’

Something’s been bothering me lately. Just what, exactly, is the appeal of Scouting For Girls? Anyone?

Thankfully, for every band that bad, there is a band getting it right, doing it proper, like. And thank goodness. You have to feel sorry for a band whose role is to make major labels feel better about themselves. Then again.

The way forward as any right thinking person knows is indie labels. There’s a raft of them again and they’re casually going about their business of making us feel better by signing great bands. What? Like Stolen Recordings? Exactly. Don’t they have mighty fine Reading fellas, Pete & The Pirates? They do.

They won’t have far to go to play the biggest show of their lives this summer will they. Make room in your ears, they’re coming in.

More hear…
- Of course, there’s the MySpace
- You can find some MP3s from the fine Stolen Recordings, just here
- The debut album, ‘Little Death’, hits the shops or whatever or however things that get released hit these days, on February 18. The vinyl album is available from here, there’s only 500 of them. Hurry hurry. You used to be able to buy a Banksy for £300 in 2003 you know. I’ll tell you my Banksy story one day when I’m brave enough.
- Keeping a beady eye on the Amazon Marketplace Price Index, you can pick up a copy for £8.90. And if anyone can explain why Vampire Weekend shows up in a search for our Pete, I’d be grateful.
