1) Peach Pit … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 2 bands sharing the name Peach Pit.
1) Peach Pit is an indie pop band from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band is led by singer and rhythm guitarist Neil Smith, lead guitarist Christopher Vanderkooy, bassist Peter Wilton, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi. They describe their own music as "chewed bubblegum pop", whereas critics have described their sound as "sad pop and surf rock" and has a soft spoken vocal style with guitar driven rock melodies. The band's music videos are produced by videographer Lester Lyons-Hookham. The band have sported the same clothes for every live performance since buying them for their first music video shoot.
The group formed when high school friends, Neil Smith and Chris Vanderkooy, decided to collaborate on a musical project in 2014. Peter Wilton and Mikey Pascuzzi joined them on bass and drums. In June 2016, the band released its debut EP, Sweet FA, produced and recorded by Smith's former roommate Harley Small at The Space Studios in Vancouver BC. They quickly began work on their follow up release and debut LP, Being So Normal. The album was again recorded by Harley Small at The Space Studios and was released in September 2017 on the Vancouver indie label Kingfisher Bluez.
Vocalist/rhythm guitarist Neil Smith was formerly part of the folk band Dogwood and Dahlia. Smith and bassist Peter Wilton formerly worked as Amazon delivery drivers, guitarist Christopher Vanderkooy worked at a local Vancouver brewery, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi worked as a carpenter. The band quit their jobs to go on their first tour of North America, Europe and Asia from 2017-2018. They have been touring steadily ever since the release of their debut album.
Peach Pit performed at Bonnaroo, Shaky Knees Music Festival, CBC Music Festival, and Capital Hill Block Party in 2019 and opened for Two Door Cinema Club in a tour of the U.S. and Canada in 2019. The band has mentioned in interviews and during shows that they have recorded a new album.
2) Peach Pit is a 4-piece math/post rock band from Croatia formed in 1994.
The idea of making a band was started by Bruno Vidović and Mihael Bele in 1994, and after few parties, name Peach Pit (after an odd restaurant in the 90210) emerged as a name for a band that would create noise rock on the heritage of Big Black, Killdozer, Scratch acid and others. Peach Pit's first lineup was formed in the autumn of 1994 and it consisted of Mihael Bele on guitar, Bruno Vidović on drums and Branko Beðtak on bass.
First concerts which promoted early materials that featured vocals were loud and genuinely violent and often featured stage acts such as firecrackers, feedback and stage diving, for which they were often discarded as juvenile and abrupted by sound engineers by pulling out of electricity or even police.
By 1996, Peach Pit turned completely instrumental under influence of new music from across the water, and also played a lot of shows, some of them with noted names such as Zeni Geva. In the spring of 1997, Franjo Gluðac (previously from Liquid Light, also instrumental) joined Peach Pit on the second guitar, and his coming also marked departure of Beðtak which left Peach Pit as a three-piece with Franjo and Mihael on guitars and basses and Bruno on drums. Along with that, first compilation appearances were made, and Peach Pit was now open to audiences outside of Zagreb and started making materials for the first release.
Tricky Slaughter Operation cd-r (burned in 100 copies) was issued in the spring of 1998 and featured Tomica Ðãavina of Brassneck on bass (who left after the album was recorded and a short tour) and also Beðtak's guest appearance on one song. It was recorded live during a six month period in Kozmo. During that period Mihael and Franjo were also the guitar part of the Lunar with which Peach Pit shared a practice room.
Next self-release was Autom csep, which was mostly recorded by overdubbing in Kozmo in summer of 1998 and was issued along with Christmas greeting card ep which was recorded later that year. It was followed by a short concert break which was used for making of a first official album, Suspicios Cargo which was recorded in june of 1999 and was issued nine months later on Ivica Barièeviã's Earwing records. Bara also became promotor for most of the Peach Pit's concerts during that period.
Finishing of Suspicious cargo also marked Bruno Motik being recruited on second guitar, which created current lineup that exists since 1999. His coming brought complexity to songwriting and a step toward exploring new techniques which became our trademark since then.
In the summer of 2000, material for a second album (Music for the Fruitcake Generation) was recorded but was lost. That period was marked with heavy concerting which, along with a album material failure brought some problems to the band after which Peach Pit decided to take a one year break in 2001 after which a short European tour in 2003, that featured five-piece with Branko Beðtak(again) on bass, and Bruno Motik on second drums and guitar, took place. Also, Peach Pit also named a genre for the music which they are playing, sport-rock.
Later, in 2004 some of the songs from the lost material were re-recorded in Kozmo using live recording technique directly to tape and are to be released on Interstellar records Supernova 2 compilation. Four new Sport Rock songs have been recorded (26mins) in january 2006 in Kozmo, and are awaiting mix.

Peach Pit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now you've got her stayin' later on
In whispered press a lash is left on her cheek
Just brush it off, you got her feelin' weak
After practice, you were sitting on the lawn
While she was laughin' in the sun, oh
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
I'll just wipe off my neck, then leave you in between
You sure know how to kill me
I saw you lookin' back a lot yesterday
Thinkin' how could you get this goin' on
In whispered press her lips said, "Yes, dance with me"
Just pull her close, you got her feelin' weak
In the middle of darkness after everybody's gone
She'll be lookin' back at you for the dawn, oh
You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
I'll just wipe off my neck, then leave you in between
You sure know how to kill me
You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
I'll just wipe off my neck, then leave you in between
You sure know how to kill me
The lyrics to Peach Pit's song "Drop the Guillotine" tell the story of a love triangle between a protagonist, a girl, and another guy who is competing for her affections. The singer notices the girl and the other guy becoming closer and he feels a sense of betrayal, as he had feelings for her first. However, he tries to hide his emotions and play it cool, even though he knows that the girl's actions are bringing him pain. He describes feeling like his neck is on the line and that the girl knows how to drop the guillotine on him. He begrudgingly admits that he has feelings for her and that she has a power over him, even if she would never want to hurt him.
The imagery in the song is powerful, with the guillotine symbolizing the singer's vulnerability and the girl's ability to end his affection for her at any moment. The whispered press and lash on her cheek suggest a sense of intimacy and a physical relationship between the girl and the other guy, which further intensifies the singer's feelings of jealousy and hurt. However, he struggles to express his emotions and instead chooses to mask them, suggesting that he would rather remove himself from the situation than confront his pain head-on.
Overall, "Drop the Guillotine" is a poignant and relatable song about unrequited love, jealousy, and the fear of getting hurt. It captures the complicated feelings that arise in romantic relationships, and the power dynamics that can exist between different people in these situations.

You said you didn't know her name yesterday
You claimed to not know the girl yesterday
But now you've got her stayin' later on
But now you are able to keep her around for longer periods of time
In whispered press a lash is left on her cheek
You left a mark on her cheek with an intimate gesture
Just brush it off you got her feelin' weak
You can easily win her over with simple gestures
After practice you were sitting on the lawn
After an activity, you were relaxing on the grass
While she was laughin' in the sun
While she was enjoying herself in the sun
You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
You have a way of unexpectedly ending things between us
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
Although you don't want to hurt me intentionally
I'll just wipe off my neck then leave you in between
I'll pick myself up and leave you unsure of what you want
I saw you lookin' back a lot yesterday
I noticed that you were frequently looking back yesterday
Thinkin' how could you get this goin' on
Wondering how you managed to make things happen
In whispered press her lips said yes, dance with me
She agreed to dance with you in a moment of intimacy
Just pull her close you got her feelin' weak
You can easily make her feel weak with close physical contact
In the middle of darkness after everybody's gone
During a moment of darkness and solitude, with no one else around
She'll be lookin' back at you for the dawn
She'll be waiting for you to come back, for a new beginning
You sure know how to kill me
You have a way of causing me emotional pain
You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
You have a way of unexpectedly ending things between us
Though you would never wanna see me bleed

You sure know how to kill me
You have a way of causing me emotional pain
