Biography
Alternative rock duo PEAKS! are excited to announce the release of the digital EP “MODERN WORLD SURVIVORS II”, out now via FLG.
About the EP, the band stated:
“MODERN WORLD SURVIVORS II is for anyone who’s ever felt too much in a world that listens too little. It’s for the gaslit, the shut down, the ones who’ve been guilt-tripped into silence - and still found a way to make noise. Each track is a snapshot of resistance: LEECHER confronts manipulation with venom and truth; BAD DECISIONS embraces the beautiful mess of recklessness; MORPHIA howls from the edge of numbness, and DON’T WANNA BE LIKE YOU goes straight for the throat of hypocrisy”.
“This EP lives in the tension between chaos and clarity. The lyrics are confessional, confrontational, sometimes self-destructive - but never hollow. They’re laced with irony, pain, and the raw need to break free from anything fake, expected, or imposed”, they continued.
“Musically, it’s cathartic and intimate: distorted guitars, punchy rhythms, and haunting melodies form a wall of sound that feels like fists against the walls and voices breaking through static. It’s a darker, more resolved end to the storm we started in Part I - less about survival, more about defiance. We didn’t write these songs to be safe. We wrote them to feel alive. If you’ve ever felt like the only sane person in a twisted system - this one’s for you”.
PEAKS! are an exceptional alternative rock duo from Turin, Italy, who started their musical journey towards the end of 2020 with the jaw dropping debut song ‚ “Blackout”, that amassed over 2 million Spotify streams.
The band are intensely creative and have formed a very strong distinctive image through their visual output since the start: they shoot and create their own videos and content, while collaborating with the renowned Italian graphic designer Giulia Lunge, to realise and stay true to their vision.
From big fuzzy guitar riffs to catchy hooks, their musical influences draw from 70s rock to 90/2000s Electro Pop, as well as current bands such as The Score, Twenty One Pilots, Imagine Dragons, grandson, YUNGBLUD, Bishop Briggs, Welshly Arms, SAINT PHNX and more.
PEAKS! debuted live at The Great Escape (2022) in Brighton, gaining huge acclaim that led to festival slots at 2000 Trees in the UK and supporting Pearl Jam at BST Hyde Park in London, then Placebo in Mantova (Italy), their Italian debut in front of 10,000 people. They wrapped up 2022 by playing with Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes.
2023 saw PEAKS! returning to The Great Escape in Brighton, playing at the first Slam Dunk in Italy, followed by support slots with Dead Poets Society in Holland, and summer shows with Placebo in Italy and Switzerland. They played with Placebo again in 2024, as well as performing at the Storing Festival in The Netherlands.
Over the years, PEAKS! have received great support from DSPs, including placements on New Music Friday playlists across Europe on Spotify, and Fresh Rock and New Rock playlists on Amazon Music.
The band have been featured on BBC Radio 1’s ‘Future Artists’ with Jack Saunders and on Kerrang! Radio, as well as earning strong airplay in the UK and across Europe. On TV, their music has been used on Love Island in the UK and on BBC’s Match of the Day, as well as on various US sync projects.
