Why they rock 'n' stuff:
PTA is made up of Ben on guitar and vocals, Harry on bass and Trent beating those skins. Their music is simple and right in the way of teen angst and mid life crisis. They produce sounds that bring back memories of bands like the Bouncing Souls and Brand New to groups like New Order and the Cure. How? By creating a sound of wispy yet driving guitar rhythms, melodic pulsing bass lines, and well executed drum lines that help build a song together perfectly. Let's not forget the urgent vocal delivery which not only melds the sounds of classic skate punk with post punk joy division-esque vocal performance but also deliver poetic lyrical banter that ties each PTA song together.
Simply put, they remind me of who I am and how that came to be...even if I have no clue means. It is what it is.
