I was at the same gig in Exeter Cavern as Gregg (supporting equally excellent Young Knives). They churn out decent melodic indie pop rock, with good harmonies from the singers. The production on this album seems to improve as the album goes on but I like a bit of rough round the edges.
Some of the lyrics are a bit sixth form poetry but overall I really liked it musically and they could go far!

If you like your guitars spiky, choppy and angular then this is the one for you as the cd is awash with them. They sound like a less polished (which is often preferable) Killers or Kaiser Chiefs or even britpop-era Blur. The vocals are occasionally ropey when stretched but actually blend well with the overall "rough" sound. The lyrics are not always fully realised but they certainly have a knack with catchy/infectious melodies and the experience as a whole is very refreshing.

Wow - what a debut album. Great opening song (I'll Love) followed by an impressive range of others with pace, energy and strong lyrics. The catchy Mr Understanding is upstaged by the rousing finish of Bright Lights to leave you wanting more (only 4 stars because it is only 36 minutes long). Berks must be the place to be at the moment because the other debut album of the year is Twenty One by the Mystery Jets. Get both for the complete answer to those credit crunch blues.

Still the best debut album of 2008...
IMO that is. The album has had more repeated playings than any other album I've bought this year, beating off the likes of MGMT, Kings Of Leon, Hot Chip, etc. Read more

14 tracks, lyrically jovial, undeniably middle England.
Cracking debut from an underated band with the most infectious summer fuelled tracks this side of Vampire Weekend. Read more

So good, so underated
One of those of those albums that's so much better than the sum of its parts. It's such a throwback to the heydays of indie, but evolved, meaner and better than you could ever do... Read more

Say no to a pirated copy - pick yourself up one of these
I first heard of Pete and the Pirates through the music of Tap Tap. To those who are educated in the ways of Tommy Sanders will know what I mean. Read more
