Six years since their previous album, The Peawees are back with 11 corking new tunes of power pop goodness. Admittedly, I am more familiar with guitarist Dario Persi\u2019s band, Radio Days, and while there are similarities between the two groups, Radio Days are a blast of sunshine while The Peawees sometimes have a darker edge to their melodies. That said, both bands have a pile of strong songs, proving once again that Italian bands currently have the upper hand, with the exception of The Speedways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From \u2018Banana Tree\u2019 onwards, there are tunes to get you grooving, nodding or punching the air. This is a slinky number for the dance floor, as is first single \u2018The Wolf\u2019 (see video). \u2018Drive\u2019 is a radio friendly anthem, once heard, never forgotten. Simple, but very effective. And that\u2019s what The Peawees specialise in; like Radio Days, they make familiar melodies sound fresh and exciting. \u2018Plastic Bullets\u2019 adds keyboards and a \u201cwoah, woah\u201d refrain. It\u2019s here that they sound most like The Speedways, as high a compliment as I can give. Two minutes fly by, and you\u2019ll be playing it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
