Brooklyn’s Pespi delivers Salt Pepper Catshit. No, this is not a new Pepsi flavor but rather a tasty new treat for your earholes courtesy of Harrison Watters and brothers Rob and Matt Falcone. The band’s debut album features “Pepsi_10,” a turbulent pop punk song.
The song is a therapeutic release filled with nostalgia for the former emo kids. Brimming with guitar strums, basslines that smell of Mark Hoppus, screamo explosions, and a much mellower outro than expected, “Pepsi_10” is an explosion of angst followed by a bed of smoke. The song is a nod to the early 2000’s with influence from acts such as My Chemical Romance, Box Car Racer, and Hawthorne Heights. Most of the lyrics are indiscernible, but some of the notable lyrics are chaotic and memorable:
and when you see me with a pile of imaginary bodies and drugs
Just know that I’m not gone and keep me frozen like a picture in your government heart
The band describes themselves as “high energy, emotive, and evocative minimalist sound coalesces indie rock, experimental rock, post punk, math rock, and hardcore” – which is just about chaotic sounding as the song is. We love some good chaos.
