Keep Me by PESKY [2015]


There are young artists, and then there are YOUNG artists. The seven members of newcomer Pesky from northwest England have not even reached the age of 13(!!!), yet the indie pop (or their more accurately self-described genre - "FUN!") sounds of their debut single "Keep Me" hint at songwriting and melody that bands more than twice their age wish they could achieve. At first I was skeptical and thought this might be a gimmick, but then I heard an actual interview with them on BBC Radio (they've never heard of Coldplay!). Mind blown. "Keep Me" is simple and catchy, and it's summer in your ears. Pesky's debut EP Smells Like Tween Spirit is out tomorrow. Given their newness/youth, I'm guessing we won't be seeing any live Pesky shows anytime soon, let alone here in LA, but if they do we'll be the first to let you know!
