Press Kit (update)

BIO

The Peach Kings make music that sounds like the last scene of a film you can't stop thinking about.

Paige Wood and Steven Dies have spent over a decade building a world that exists between genres and refuses to settle in any of them. Somewhere between the polish and the dirt, the analog and the digital, the tender and the electric. Their sound carries the grain of bygone eras without the weight of nostalgia. It's present. It's loaded. Something is always about to happen.

Formed in California and built in Los Angeles, their influences land where you'd expect and where you wouldn't: PJ Harvey and Nancy Sinatra. Lee Hazlewood and Gary Numan. Lynch and Lou Reed. The list doesn't contradict itself. It builds a picture of music that holds tension the way a great film does, that can go quiet or loud without ever losing the thread.

Their catalog has found its way into the worlds it was always meant for. Boardwalk Empire. Shameless. Drew Barrymore photographed them for V Magazine alongside Warpaint, M83, and Lord Huron. Cyndi Lauper and The Heavy both chose them as touring partners, putting them on sold-out stages across the country.

The Peach Kings have always built on their own terms. That hasn't changed.

“The Peach Kings are my little love couple, and I adore the romance of a man and woman who make music together.”
— Drew Barrymore

PRESS COVERAGE

“Onstage, Dies is the spark to Wood’s vocal live wire, his no-nonsense grooves and catchy riffs setting the framework for their reverb-drenched songs. Wood’s smoldering tones can explode into flames with the twist of a syllable...”
— Pasadena Weekly
“The Peach Kings’ brand of Americana noir gets headier with every EP, and if there isn’t a brand of liquor called “Mojo Thunder” yet, somebody better get distilling.”
— buzzbands.la
“Together they make an inspiring live act: fun, dynamic, engaging, rockin’ and personal. Every member of the audience felt like a close friend.”
— bestnewbands.com
“...the title track off of [Mojo Thunder] EP features Paige’s hypnotic alto while the raw guitar riffs create a vibe that would be easily found in a Tarantino movie.”
