PETYR – SMOLYK

Fronted by pro-skater Riley Hawk (son of Tony Hawk), San Diego, CA’s Petyr play crushing psychedelic hard rock just the way you like it. Steeped in equal parts hard rock and skateboarding, the band draws influence from the likes of Japanese psychedelic masters Flower Traveling Band, the hardness of Black Sabbath and the vibe of hometown scene godfathers Earthless. Petyr delivered a killer self-titled debut in 2017 and now follow it up with new high-water mark Smolyk, a compelling annex of heavy psych/skate soundscapes.
