‘...muscular drums, pounding bass and lightening
guitar totally in sync. The rhythm section propels
every song into the body, demanding movement.
There's an element of grunge but the sound is
organic and rumbling rather than spiky. A band
packed tight.’ www.moles.co.uk
Conceived in a small South West town in early
2006, Petrol showcase the intimate and powerful
sound created by vocalist and guitarist Chris Turtell.
Combining raw and infectious hooks with
compelling melodies, the three piece provide a
new breed of intelligent and compelling rock that
needs to be heard.
Citing influences including Pixies, Girls Against Boys, Killing Joke and Shellac, Petrol merge their
rugged grunge-edged songs with carefully
constructed lyrics. Their place in the modern world
is defined by the ethos behind the music; edgy pop
songs with a stripped back sound and vocals written
with a sense of urgency.
Escapism for those bored with the hollowness of
today’s music scene, the band will be bringing their
live shows to audiences across the UK in 2008.
Feel free to be dragged along to clap your hands
or just shout your fucking head off.
