1) A Three-piece Punkband from the Netherlands, formed in 1999 or 2000. The name comes from the dutch name for Peanutbutter.
2) || NOW KNOWN AS NIGHT RIOTS || Long time friends and members of multiple local bands, PK formed for both the sheer joy of playing music and at the same time to help strengthen the weakening scene in their hometown of San Luis Obispo, CA. In 2007 PK recorded a five song EP entitled Casting Shadows at Green bean Studios in Sunland, CA. With the strength of this EP, PK established a strong following in Central and Northern California. Working completely for themselves, the members of PK created many tight relationships with bands, fans and promoters alike. From San Jose to San Francisco to San Luis Obispo, PK draws more new fans each time they return to a city. At the beginning of 2009 PK returned to Green Bean to record a three song demo. Currently released online and through burned CDs passed out at shows, these three songs have already opened up PK’s market to a much wider audience. Now not only do the original, “teen to twenties” fans still enjoy the music but PK has been able to find an audience in their fans’ parents as well. With a much more cohesive and marketable sound these three songs show much promise for what’s to come. The band will return to the studio in mid-August to record five more songs that will be combined with the previous three to create a six-song “half-length” leaving two songs to be released later. After the completion of the record, PK will begin weekend tours, strategically playing areas in northern, southern and eastern California, quickly building markets all over the state. Equipped with a newly purchased van and trailer, and the strength of the new songs PK will be touring from now until forever.

Wolves of the East Coast
PK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I learned how wolves ruled the east coast
Sometimes you'd come in my room
Late at night like wind blows through
You don't come, come around no more
Fight or run, you're just getting older
I know you won't always be there
I know you can't always fix me
But you try, try
It's hard times, running around these streets
I think about all the times gone by
I know we may not be so young anymore
I swear to God, if the boy ever breaks your heart
I know you won't always be there
But you try, try
I know you can't always fix me
But you try, try
Hey, didn't I mold you?
Hey, aren't I owed?
I just want back some of my time
The youth we lost to fall in line
When we grow old our futures dim low
And What we've done is all we know
The lyrics of PK's song Wolves of the East Coast are a reflection of the passage of time, growing up, and the relationship between two individuals. The first stanza talks about a wallflower, which can be interpreted as representing someone who initially blends into the background but later blossoms into their true form. The singer of the song is depicted as someone who recognises the growth and strength of individuals and is in awe of the power and prowess of the wolves that rule the East Coast. The second line of the stanza suggests that there is a history between the two characters, perhaps indicating that the singer has known each other for years.
The second and third stanzas of the song hint at the idea that the relationship between the two characters has changed over time. The singer of the song reminisces about someone who used to visit their room at night, just like the wind, and laments that they don't come around anymore. The phrase, "Fight or run, you're just getting older," suggests that the friend has grown up, and this has created distance between them. The singer acknowledges that their friend can't always be there to help them, but they appreciate the effort.
The chorus contains an emotional plea from the singer to save time and bring back youth that's lost. The bridge of the song contains the lines "Hey, didn't I mold you? Hey, aren't I owed?" which highlights the sacrifices a person might make to help shape someone else. The final line of the song suggests that the future is unknown, and we are only as good as what we have accomplished in our lives.

And What we've done is all we know
Our identities and self-worth are heavily influenced by our past actions and experiences
