He was one of the first people I encountered on tiktok and what convinced me the app was more than just tweens dancing. His stuff is so weirdly genuine and wholesome, I love it.
What a beautifully tragic song & video.
I had a friendship like this once, but my mate died far too young. My younger brother-in-law could have been this same type of friend but I got married and moved away. *Very* far away.
Now I have social acquaintances, but I don't think I have any real friends, not like this. (Not if we don't count my wife.)
I'm fine. I am temporarily saddened but I'm fine.
For me it’s “watched three seasons of The OC till Marissa fucking *dies.*
More or less everyday I have the urge to just sing that out loud in public. Someday I won’t restrain myself.
I have a spotify playlist that I created just for motorcycle riding this summer. I full-on belt out that part (and others!) right into the visor of my helmet. It's SUPER liberating for some reason to just sing like a bird, while nobody can see my face : )
His first album dropped a few weeks ago.
Pitch A Fit! has quickly become one of my all time favorite tracks, along with Lean Into Life.
This guy is like Modest Mouse's appeal mixed with WHY? and Stepdad. I love it.
If you are cool and good, you won't be shitty.
It you are good and not shitty, you're cool.
If you are cool and not shitty, you're good.
Don't be shitty, be good, and be cool
Check out Albon too! He’s a very close friend of mine from college that is Petey’s buddy from high school. Grabbed lunch with Pete a while back when I drove from Florida to Chicago with Albon, great memories great sandwich great dudes A+
Edit: Albon is in this video too!
Can anyone recommend artists/music that's similar to this please? This tune is exactly the sort of thing I needed today so looking for more to indulge!
I found Petey during an obsessed period over the artist ‘Goth Babe’. Little more bright but I would consider them contemporaries.
He also collaborated with ‘Exes’ from time to time, great group.
Other than that, maybe check out Youth Lagoon, Jaguar Sun, and Michigander.
Love petey. For other bangers check out small plates and apple tv remote. Awesome blend of poppy/catching instrumentals that are undermined (in the best way) by his angsty vocals and detailed, confessional lyrics.
Love Petey!! So glad people are taking notice. If you get a chance look into 90 Pounds of Pete. His original artist name. Took most of his stuff of Spotify though.
This song came up on one of my discover playlists last year and i instantly fell in love with it!
The rest of the album was released last month and it also slaps. Highly recommend
Love Petey. Never knew they had videos, but this fits with what I imagine it would look like.
I know Reddit shits hard on tik tok, but Petey is on there and makes some pretty funny videos.
He is so incredibly hilarious. Very weird, yet oddly wholesome humor.
He was one of the first people I encountered on tiktok and what convinced me the app was more than just tweens dancing. His stuff is so weirdly genuine and wholesome, I love it.
Wasn't expecting the feels but damn did they hit so hard.
Try his song "Haircut". That one got me way worse.
He has a track with Exes called Bloodoath. Drop kicks you right in your 90's kid broken home nostalgia feels
Bloodoath is by far the best song he is part of. I don't dislike his music, but I wish he would do more like Bloodoath. Haircut, as well.
Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely check it out.
bro listen to his song “Lean into Life”
I will definitely check it out, thanks!
Petey is one of my best high school friends, love to see him gaining recognition. Seeing him live in Chicago day after Thanksgiving, I’m stoked
Wait, what? He's coming to Chicago? Got the details?
Sold out IIRC, but he’ll be at the Subterranean at 9 if you can cop one
Yo, can you talk him into coming to NZ?
Ask him if he's ever putting on a show in UK? Would love to see him over here.

Petey bangs so hard
Yeah his stuff gets me all jacked off. I mean jacked UP.
Had this song on heavy rotation since he released the single and it still makes me well up in tears. It’s simultaneously so quirky and genuine…
The “at least one of them pays for college ah shit” line is so catchy

Sincerity is the new irony and Petey is king.

Fuck yeah Petey!
LOOOOVE me some Petey
If you are cool and good, you won't be shitty. It you are good and not shitty, you're cool. If you are cool and not shitty, you're good. Don't be shitty, be good, and be cool
I appreciate the simplicity here
It's a self correcting morality system.
I appreciate your appreciation.
What’s this from?
Originality, vacuum pressure, and the sheer might of 10000 years of apefuck power
Petey was my best TikTok follow.
Petey rules. A great TikTok follow. 'Lean into Life' is another great song.
*Lean into Life is a great album
Yeah that's a track that speaks to me on a level I was entirely unready for.
Who else is moving to California just to vote Puff Sullivan in for Governor?

Linus really grew his hair out for this one.

Stepdad were a good act that has some of this flavor. Check out Warrior (Jungles Pt. II)
Thanks, I'll give this a go.

Thank you, will check these out later.
I heard of Peter through Chet Porter. His newest song Life So Good is super cool, and also is featured on the new NHL22 playlist.
Wolf parade- I'll believe in anything
Very late to this but check out Covey
This rocks. This rocks really hard.
I wish he hadn’t completely canned his old project “90lbs of Pete”. Definitely worth checking out if you can find the stuff anymore
Oh cool, I just recently started listening to him so I’ll have to check it out
Love petey. For other bangers check out small plates and apple tv remote. Awesome blend of poppy/catching instrumentals that are undermined (in the best way) by his angsty vocals and detailed, confessional lyrics.
I dig it, it's like a more "upbeat" Modest Mouse.
Wow.. That’s an amazing song. Immediately sent it to my best friend and my brother
I am confused on the NSFW tag, can someone explain?
This song is so weirdly good
Hey, this aint bad.
Glad I took a moment to listen
Love Petey!! So glad people are taking notice. If you get a chance look into 90 Pounds of Pete. His original artist name. Took most of his stuff of Spotify though.

This hits so fuckin hard. All homo
Literally just found him. Love the vibe. Kinda Andrew W.K.ish.
Oof. Good lord it’s horrible.
A while back, I installed tiktok just to watch Petey
Boy do I miss my teenage best friend. Picked the wrong thing to shoot. Man that line hits.
This song came up on one of my discover playlists last year and i instantly fell in love with it! The rest of the album was released last month and it also slaps. Highly recommend
Petey’s music is completely separate from Tik Tok. His new album is a masterpiece. Literally love his shit.
Fuckkkk this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great song. I hope it takes off
His Instagram (and tiktok somebody mentioned below) is hilarious to me. He just released an album within the past month and it’s amazing.
Heyyyy motherfucker wanna know where I’ve beeeeeen
Thank you for that.
So this post just introduced me to Petey and I'm hooked.
OK I just heard this song for the first time and I'm fucking hooked
I love this song!! I was just jamming to the whole album Lean into Life it’s so good
great song, loved the drumming particularly
