Peter Brewis News Today

For Under the Radar's 13th annual Artist Survey we emailed some of our favorite artists a few questions relating to 2015.

Welcome to the 36th Songs of the Week of 2023. This week Andy Von Pip, Caleb Campbell, Scott Dransfield, and Stephen Humphries all helped me decide what should make the list. We settled on a Top 9 this week.

Musicians reflect on their first concerts. Includes stories from Tegan & Sara, Camera Obscura, Girl Talk, Owen Pallett, Art Brut, The Hold Steady, MGMT, Broken Social Scene, Ariel Pink, !!!, Mew, Real Estate, The Dears, and more.

My Firsts is our email interview series where we ask musicians to tell us about their first life experiences, be it early childhood ones (first word, first concert, etc.) or their first tastes of being a musician (first band, first tour, etc.). For this My Firsts we talk to Kevin Whelan of Aeon Station (and formerly of The Wrens).

Under the Radar presents the Wasted on the Youth Issue. The idea is to talk to musicians and actors about facets of their childhood years, from their first favorite bands to childhood memories.

Plus: Man on Man, Creep Show (John Grant + Cabaret Voltaire's Stephen Mallinder), Hand Habits, Bonny Doon, and more.

Listen to new songs by Queens of the Stone Age, MIKE, THICK, Barebones, End Reign, Chamber, Buffalo Nichols, tummyache, John Grant, Alice Cooper, Strange Ranger, and more.

‘Blowdry Colossus‘ is Peter Brewis‘ first solo album under his own own name and is largely instrumental. “I wanted the music to be the meaning,“ he says. “the melodies, harmonies, sounds, structures.”
