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 ↴
I can't do otherwise
But is it enough?
And why'd you look so tough?
Back at Patrick Park
We stood in the dark
In my beer-stained mind
There's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
There's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
On the high school lot
You'd kiss me so long
But lessons don't last
When I'm playing you so fast, yeah
There's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
There's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
Punch and first collapse
Drunk at winter dance
Looks in red dress
Oh, what an awful mess
There's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
There's something dark hangin' over my head
I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
The lyrics of Peach Pit's "Seventeen" describe a teenage romance that is both mesmerizing and fleeting. The singer, who is only seventeen years old, reflects on his relationship with his lover and the various situations they find themselves in. The repetition of "There's something dark hangin' over my head, I'm seventeen don't hold your breath" suggests that despite his current situation, he might not survive the challenges ahead.
The first verse describes a moment when he stands up for himself and realizes his options are limited. He questions whether it's enough to make a difference and why his lover looks so tough. The line "Back at Patrick Park, we stood in the dark, in my beer-stained mind, I said 'Please won't you be mine?'" reveals a moment when they were in a dark place yet he still wanted her to be his.
In the second verse, they're on a high school lot, and he recalls how they would kiss for long periods. However, he notes that their relationship won't last long because he can't keep up with her pace. The line "Lessons don't last when I'm playing you so fast" suggests that he's trying really hard to keep up, but it's not working.
The last verse describes an incident where things went wrong. The singer describes getting into a fight and collapsing at a winter dance. The details are hazy, but he recalls his lover wearing a red dress, which was an awful mess. The bridge contains the line, "There's something dark hangin' over my head, I'm seventeen don't hold your breath," which suggests that despite his age, he's already dealing with some serious problems.
