PETYR premiere Flower Travellin' Band cover track ahead of debut album release
Psychedelic hard rock band PETYR have premiered their cover of a Flower Travellin' Band track ahead of the release of their debut album. Satori III is streaming via Visions magazine, and is taken from the band's self titled album, due out via Outer Battery Records on May 19. Listen to Satori III via Visions
Of the track, PETYR frontman and pro skater, Riley Hawk - son of legendary skater Tony Hawk - commented:
"I knew when I first heard Satori it was a record that was exactly the kind of music I was looking for, so I figured it would be perfect to do Satori III because when we first covered it we didn't have vocals in the band. I hope we did a good job of paying homage to them."
In addition to Hawk, PETYR has Holland Redd on guitar, Nick McDonnell on drums, and Luke Devigny on bass. The PETYR philosophy is equal parts hard rock and skateboarding. Aside from Japanese psychedelic masters Flower Travellin' Band, the band also draw influence from the hardness of Black Sabbath and the vibe of hometown scene godfathers Earthless. When asked to describe the music Riley replied that “It’s just a product of where we grew up... We skate, we jam, and one feeds off the energy of the other.”
The eight track album was written in countless jam sessions over the course of a year, capturing the spirit of cruising down the San Diego highway, at a time when all that truly matters is skateboarding, motorcycles, heavy music and friendship. That Pacific coastline sea-salt spattered, road-worn feeling will be imprinted into turquoise vinyl and shipped worldwide later this month.
