Pete and the Pirates were an indie rock band from Reading, England. Bright, young commanders of a brand of unique Englishness, their blend of smooth edged punk and pop produces music which is sweet, raw, joyous, melancholic, raucous and tender.

Captain's Rest, Glasgow, Scotland on September 26, 2011
Not fans of the band; even though they've sold out this fair-sized venue there's still an uncomfortable feeling that most people are here just to check them out.
Frontman Tom Sanders may have a skull on his T-shirt and tattoos on his arms but the rest sport misshapen tops and unexciting jeans while the bassist and guitarist wear glasses.
Of course we know all about the headliners Pete and the Pirates and look forward to seeing them again with a tinge of excitement after their blinding show at this year’s End Of The Road festival.
I myself feared for the existence of simple story-telling and melancholic melodies, but good old fashioned indie-rock was back; back in the form of these cheerful chaps from Reading.
