In 2019, drummer Andy Sutor and guitarist Jean-Paul Jacyshyn (JP) started working on ideas for PEACH. Their shared love of 90’s and early 2000’s desert rock, punk and grunge helped shape up their ideas, citing influences such as Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey and Eleven. Soon after recruiting Tim Cooke on baritone guitar, the initial song ideas started to take shape, but progress was inevitably stifled…

Due to the pandemic delaying progress, the lineup of PEACH finally reached completion in the summer of 2021. Local powerhouse, Ellie Godwin (No Violet), started collaborating on vocals, bringing along writing and vocal influences such as Joni Mitchell and Jeff Buckley. Taking their ideas to the rehearsal room, the band pulled together a hard hitting set of songs. After such a drawn-out inception, they thought it deserved to be recorded.

With a handful of successful singles under their belt, PEACH have been championed by the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Daniel P Carter, Noizze, James Scarlett (Arctangent and 2000Trees festivals) and BBC Radio Wales’ Adam Walton. They have been awarded support slots alongside bands such as Mclusky, LIFE, Chiyoda Ku, Crows, Skin Failure and CLT DRP as well as a slot in 2022’s Arctangent Festival.

Their debut self-titled album was recorded in Devon at Middle Farm Studios in February 2022 with the incredibly talented and versatile producer Peter Miles (Architects, Dodie, Petrol Girls, TesseracT). Staying true to their original influences, the band opted to record live to tape, using minimal overdubs and capturing the raw energy that now defines their sound.

From the powerful and mesmerizing drum beats on opening track “Dread” it is clear that PEACH are a bunch highly skilled musicians who create powerful and energetic music filled with passion and emotion. We were hooked instantly.

PEACH are not a band who dabble in smoke and mirrors their style and sound is authentic and genuine.

On “Care” we are lured in by the impressive guitar melodies and the electric vocal performance from vocalist Ellie Godwin.

One track that really stood out is the latest single “Already There”

Discussing their influences and meaning behind the song, the band explain: “

We are going to lie we pretty much played “Already There “ on continuous loop , definitely one of our favorites.

Alongside the single saw its music video, directed and produced by graphic designer Charlotte Gosch (studio other types) and IDLES’ Lee Kiernan – both part of the film production company Holding Hands with Horses.

“Long Mover” is an absolutely stunning track it really showed the incredible versatility of PEACH.

PEACH ( Ellie Godwin, vocals, Jean-Paul Jacyshyn -guitar, Tim Cooke – baritone guitar and Andy Sutor – drums) are one of the most explosive bands we have heard in quite some time . Judging by their phenomenal self titled debut, we have a feeling PEACH is a band that is on the cusp of greatness
