Allison Jones and Derek Fieth formed the duo known as PETS in the summer of
2003. Since their inception, they've amassed a sizeable, loyal following due to
their energetic live shows.
TheyÆve already shared the stage such notable, national acts as The Lovemakers,
The Gossip, The Rogers Sisters, Dead Meadow, The Willowz, and The Epoxies.
Thrasher Magazine featured a number of PETS songs on their two, most recent
skateboarding DVDs, Rocket Science and King of the Road.
The danceable PETS single, ôPretty Pretty,ö reached #10 on KDVS' (UC Davis
CMJ-reporting station) top 30 song rotation playlist. PETS' 7 inch record,
æSTEP,Æ also charted, reaching #62 on KDVSÆ Top 90 releases of 2004.
The duo uses a crunchy, distorted bass, fuzzed-out reverb and effect-drenched
guitars, arpeggiated keyboards, and a ready-to-rock drum machine to create their
sound.
Derek and Allison both share vocal duties as their songs necessitate. When Derek
sings, PETS has been compared to The Jesus and Mary Chain, Love and Rockets, and
Sonic Youth. Allison's singing has drawn comparisons to The Kills, The Yeah Yeah
Yeahs, and Le Tigre.
Whetever the comparison, PETS makes music made for moving to, as the title of
their upcoming, debut full-length album, æPick Up Your Feet,Æ denotes.
