notes

From Long Beach, California, Peepshot brings you "Welcome" their debut full-length CD.

With its honest lyricism, sweet, warm guitar tones, and unfailingly solid rythym section, "Welcome" definately highlights the band's live-performance capability.

With the exception of vocal overdubs, these songs were tracked in one day LIVE (the way they're meant to be played) in studio, without hiding behind any glossy studio "trickery." The members of PEEPSHOT: Ben Hinch--Bass and Vocals Hale Savard--Drums Brian Summers--Guitar and Vocals David Summers--Guitar and Vocals Peepshot is a two-guitar, bass and drum band with three members writing, playing, and singing their own songs.

Through painfully-honest lyrics and rich vocal harmony, Peepshot gives it to you straight, just like their music.

  • Flawless, wet dream of the burned-out barn rock apocalypse.
    author: Abner Fenton

    These guys WERE the biggest thing that could have ever come out of Long Beach - Instead, we have Snoop, Sublime and others. I saw them for the first time at Tracy's Bar on Spring Street. Five years later, at their last show at the Blue Cafe, they rocked better than ever. Even though internal things were splitting the band at the seems, they were a flawless, wet dream of the burned-out barn rock apocalypse. This album, incidently the second realease (1996's BIGFIN is no longer available), is the best representation in existence of a band that defines what Rock n' Roll ought to be, the ingredients that make up the perfect stew of sound. Particular tracks that stand above even the others that are soundgasms in their own right are "Any Other Way", "Matter of Choice" and "The Big One". If you enjoy heavy but melodic sounds like Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Built to Spill, Guided The Voices and the Drive By Truckers, you will put Peepshot right at the top of that list!

  • Solid, gritty sound at the center
    author: Dan

    These guys have a solid, gritty sound at their center. I was a little disappointed at the length of a couple of the tracks. The 7th track, Matter of Choice, has a 7 minute instrumental section. It wasn't boring, per se, but I think the strength of their sound is the gritty, heartfelt, vulnerability in their vocals and lyrics. The 2nd track, Any Other Way, also has a lengthy instrumental section. While only 2 minutes, it seems long because it doesn't have any variation to it. I am not a fan of musical jam-bands. I don't think this cd's instrumental jams highlight the strengths of Peepshot. I do not regret purchasing the cd. I just think it could have been better.

  • one of the best CDs ever made

    Thanks for having one of the greatest CDs of all times available online...

    Great rock n roll vocals attatched to songs about being fed up and disallusioned, with a dash of loss, hope and change thrown in (BAM!)

  • An album that deserves to be heard
    author: Twofer

    It's hard to find songs that matter. It's hard to find songs about the things that we all care about. It's even harder to live them. I belive that Peepshot does both. They live life hard, and then they write about it. They're honest, real people. And, their songs are lyrical masterpieces. They sound like Elvis Costello meets Elivs. Like Neil Young meets Sonic Youth. They sound like us... I've never met these guys, but I'm pretty sure I'd like to. They write songs about bad jobs and broken hearts, but they do it with HUGE heart and meaningful lyrics. They're musicians and poets. The song, Any Other Way, could be about any of us who have made mistakes. The song Matter Choice says more in 12 minutes than I could ever say in a ilfe time. Rock 'n' Roll Show just rocks. God Bless Peepshot. buy it. live it... believe it ....twofer

  • Zeal Magazine reviews Peepshot
    author: Zeal Magazine

    For anyone who misses the day when the creative forces between Son Volt and Wilco played in the same band, Peepshot conjures up the same sort of superb country-rock. Rhymes with End and Already Lost One pair tough melodies with lyrics that tare love's demise in the eye. But their inspiration extends past Uncle Tupelo -the Crazy Horse-ish --The Big One-- reveals a four-piece with chops and intensity. ...Recorded, mixed, and mastered in two days, all eight tracks are keepers. When a tiny band comes out of nowhere and makes a record this accomplished, you start regaining faith in the music world.
