LONDON, UK (Top40 Charts/ BeSharp PR) Teased as a teen about his voice, Joel boasts a vocal range reminiscent of
James Vincent McMorrow,
James Blake and Justin Vernon. A naturally melodic writer at heart, he pens commercially appealing songs and has done from a very early age. Joel was in a previous band with Ben Thatcher (drummer of Royal Blood) before setting up Joel Peter.
The band blend sun bleached guitars, big vocals and pulse-like rhythms, under the narrative of folk songwriting, to create songs that make you feel good and put a smile on your face. With older artists, such as
Paul Simon and The Cure, then newer ones, such as Interpol,
Foals and Bombay Bicycle Club, all listed as influences, it's no surprise that Joel
Peter sound as they do.
Last year Joel
Peter received recognition from BBC6 presenter Tom Robinson as a "true pop songwriter" when debut single 'Wrap My Ankles' was featured as one of his singles of the week. New single 'Chase You Down' has also recently had the backing of the renowned radio DJ.
With a string of packed out festival performances behind them, their current EP 'Play The Colour' under their belt and supportive tweets from two of music's newest children, Josh Record and Lucy Rose, the five-piece look set for big things in 2015.
For a chance to see their energetic and uplifting live show join Joel
Peter at the Sebright Arms in London on 13th December 2014.
"Taking cues from the indie pop of
Bombay Bicycle Club and
Everything Everything, infectious hooks are given extra push with layered vocals and harmonies of a summery hue." - Q Magazine
