I have recommended them before but I loveeee their music so much and as someone who is always looking for music similar to The Sundays, I think this band fits that pretty well!
Also they have really hopeful and optimistic lyrics which is different and really nice. I’ve linked their song “Speak Our Minds” .

I woke up one morning in September to my boyfriend getting a call from the founders of Rough Trade Records (who are responsible for some of my all time favorite artist debuts including The Sundays and The Strokes). They were responding to a cold email he sent the day prior, a total shot in the dark. Long story short, he paced around my apartment on the call with London all morning while I got ready for class and 9 months later his band just released their debut single with Rough Trade! I‘m recommending because of the serendipity of it all, because it’s such a perfect little once-in-a-lifetime-chance stars-aligning real crowd-pleaser of a story, because a lot of good things have come into our lives since we started dating (I think that’s a good sign), and because it’s a genuinely good song I think everyone should listen to!!

I’m a big Run For Cover head and will check out any music they put out - Armlock is one of my fav newer bands they’ve signed 🐚👼🏻🍀🧿 Super excited to see them open for Cloud Nothings in a few weeks !! Their music is beautiful and intense and sincere and sweet 🥲 Lots of comparisons to Pinback and Alex G 👌🏻

I’ve been into this band since 2017 & they inspired me so much back when I was in college. I was also listening to them right around when I was both getting into the concept of “mathy” music and going to my local shows in NJ for the first time.
One of my most memorable shows was driving one of my newer friends to see Peaer on an autumn, Sunday night in a church recreational space, 40 minutes away on a super rainy night. The venue’s parking lot was gravel and next to the church’s graveyard and there was probably 20-25 people total, including the bands.
And it was so worth it, hearing Peaer live finally and seeing their musicianship in person. I have a real love for bands that are trios of drums, bass, guitar & vox, how you can hear everyone individually, but also how just 3 people can create such a wall of sound together. It was so important for me to see them live at that age, and I’m so glad I pushed myself to make the drive down there.
They haven’t come out with music since 2019, an album called A Healthy Earth which I had on repeat religiously. So to have a new single from them with that same guitar tone, funky time changes but new formulas and ideas has been incredibly lovely.
I’m thankful they’re still around and continuing to create 🍐
