In the tradition of Your favorite American bands

New Pete's music is inspired by local flavors but is universally relatable

From the streets of Philadelphia and filtered through spaghetti westerns, mob movies, crazy relatives, crazier friends, neighborhood characters, ex-girlfriends, the Sex pistols and the Blasters

​

Robbed from front-page headlines and dragged through the streets of Havana

​

New Pete plays with a passion for things that are old, things that are new and things that are enduring and everlasting

​

Hard to define but easy to understand, with inspirations from everywhere; from nowhere

​

and from down the block
