The band that sounds so warm and simply translates to Die Pepes comes from cold England. London, to be precise.
The band was founded by Ben Perrier and Seisuke Nakagawa.
They play power pop, garage, mixed with punk.
Admittedly, many do that, but few bands play the style like LOS PEPES.
On their first album “Los Pepes for everyone“, which is available exclusively on vinyl or for download, there are 12 gems. These are not just songs; they are all gems. Take the Ramones, add a handful of happy drugs that not only bring good vibes but also get you dancing. Then take a typical English garage in a backyard, equipped with good old analog recording technology, put the band in there, and wait to see what happens. With a high degree of certainty, you would then get LOS PEPES.
The gems are bursting with catchy melodies. Bubblegum melodic garage power pop.
Music that is guaranteed to carve a grin on your face.
In times of neo and pre-something, LOS PEPES is like a rock in the surf. A band of four young men who don’t need to explain themselves. They simply do what they enjoy, and that is this wonderful music. The sound feels as if the band comes from the 70s and has spent years listening to power pop singles and garage. There’s nothing forced or wannabe about it. It all sounds real. It sounds natural and laid-back.
LOS PEPES are just fun and refresh with their album.
It is so pure and so beautiful that I find it hard to find words for it.
For punks who prefer to dance rather than pogo.
LOS PEPES are one of the surprise bands of the year.
