Peter Parker - Swallow The Rockets

Pastel-approved Glasgow quartet Peter Parker, led by Miss The Occupier frontwoman Roz Davies and veteran riot grrl Jane McKeown, look promising on paper, and don't disappoint. This debut 7" is all coolly pretty guitar lines, biting bass and ramshackle harmonies: basically, Sleater-Kinney if they'd had more of a laugh. Swallow The Rockets is a shouty new-waver that fizzes with potential energy like a can of Irn Bru ready to burst, while flipside Temper Temper is more docile but equally as devastating in its simplicity. Peter Parker prove that they're intense about having fun - like a Glaswegian Elastica, only done right. Round one to the girls (and guy).
