Peter118 - Money & Lies

  Peter118 are the christian punk band who seem to be dividing opinion amongst those who stumble across their music. Many people seem to be put off by what they see as the band pushing the religious agenda too much, others either buy into the message or just enjoy the band's pop punk sound. Personally I'm not in the least bit religious and to me tracks like For Your Glory come across as a bit ridiculous but having said that I'm of the opinion that the song you'll find at the bottom of this update is a big step up from most of their earlier material. I'm guessing everyone will have their own opinion and some will question why I'm posting christian music but just as I've no interest in the message I've also nothing against the messenger and am happy to share a decent enough new UK punk song.

  The band are a trio from Stoke-On-Trent and feature Peter Szczepanski (vocals/guitar), Janine Szczepanski (vocals/bass) and Sam Critchley (drums). Their latest release is a split ep (3 tracks each) with Omaha, Nebraska street punk/oi band The Bricks and it's available on Raven Faith Records http://www.ravenfaithrecords.com./

  Chunky riffs and shouty vocals, this is a simple but quite hard hitting pop punker, it's called Money & Lies. Hopefully the music will be judged on it's own merits...

Peter118 - Wasting

 

  Between 2000 and 2005, Peter Field was bassist with UK punk band Senseless (the band that also featured members of Wolf Bites Boy), he then discovered religion, became a Christian and has since been in bands such as Risen From Ruins and AOS (Ambassadors Of Shalom). He now fronts Peter118. Based in Stoke-On-Trent and originally a solo project, they've now expanded to full band format and boast the talents of Janine Szczepanski (bass), Alisha Palmer (guitar/backing vocals) and Sam Critchley (drums).

  Originally on Thumper Punk Records, (you can check out their Need You More ep here : https://peter118.bandcamp.com/ ) they've recently signed to Raven Faith Records and are preparing to release both a live album and a compilation of their previously released eps.

  Taking inspiration from the likes of early Blink 182 and a big favourite of the legendary Rodney Bingenheimer, this is a song taken from a split 6 track ep with No Lost Cause called In Stereo. It's out now on In Presence Records and the song is called Wasting....
