Coming in
hot after bombing several listing tops
of last year with their amazing S/T debut, heavy psych quartet Petyr
fronted by pro skater Riley Hawk and based in Oceanside, California,
are ready to do it all again with their latest LP titled Smolyk. In a
clear nod to 90´s
street legend Peter Smolik, the band returns with a freshly baked set of full
blown hard psych jams filled with grinding solos, Tre Flip riffs and
gnarly acid drops in another thrasher release by Outer Battery Records, already available on digital platforms with the cd and vinyl
including a limited
edition on a multi color blend power
sliding on June 1st.
Fresh
off an Australian tour and Roadburn´s San Diego Take Over, the
stoned out foursome deliver another wild ride through fuzzy guitar
riffs & solos with a crushing and stomping rhythmic section in an
intoxicating 70´s haze blaze. Sticking up to their working formula
but with a more punkish attitude and approach, the new record leans
more to the heavy sounds then the predominant psychedelia infused
debut, as the jams get faster, dirtier and gnar. Wailing guitar solos
and electrifying riffs shredding over a high-powered drum kit
accompanied by ripping bass lines, feed of each other to carve a
classic set of skate rock anthems. The jams, now with a darker and
doomy atmosphere, constantly bounce between different feels and
tempos, as the rad grooves gain speed and memento allowing them to perform their insane bag of tricks so steezy.
For
lovers of the So Cal scene in particular and skateboarding culture in
general, here´s a banger that will turn these cats from Ams to Pros on
the highly competitive San Diego Heavy Psych team.
