For Peel fans, this is a bittersweet occasion - a farewell to guitarist/vocalist Josh Permenter of Peel - who moves on to San Francisco - surely a trade up for him, but a loss for the Austin music community. No official word from Peel yet, but I have high hopes that the band will continue to record and tour in some form.

“I think Allison (Moore) and Dakota (Smith) are going to try and continue the band in some form or another. Once Josh leaves, they’re the only two remaining founding members. It may or may not still be called Peel — it’s all kind of up in the air and I don’t think they’ve figured it out themselves.”

Dakota Smith plays guitar for the Austin-based band Peel. He has owned a Thingamagoop since 2007 after he found out about them through a secret online society. [...] “It’s a cross between a spice or seasoning and a garnish,” said Smith. “It gets used live so much because it is something people haven’t seen before. They don’t quite know how it works."

http://2009.texasangle.com/little-monster-make...

the smart-assed slackers of Austin’s Peel drop shards of fuzzed-out guitar and nitrous oxide psychedelia in a blender and set it on “destroy.” The group’s jubilant joie de vivre and bricolage approach is echoed throughout this boisterous bill organized by tyro tinkerer magazine Make, which also features trashy techno terrorist MVSCLVZ, laptop-and-Telecaster-rocking electro MC Neiliyo, eye-popping experimental films, and interactive “noise robots” courtesy of Bleep Labs. We’ve seen the future and it is fun.

I really like playing SXSW Interactive. “SXSW Music” is sort of like saying “SXSW Cassette Tape.”

We recommend listening both entirely and repeatedly!

Dakota Smith, the quintet's frontman, combined an uncontrollable Presley-style gyration with Cobainic mop to electrify the intimate living room space beneath the giant glowing red clock face hovering overhead.

Well apparently someone gives a f**k about Oxford, because without breaking a sweat I found tons of songs with the “Oxford Connection.”

http://littleboxofindie.com/?p=120

I was kind of surprised to learn that a band this good was mostly unknown; they're on a tiny indie, Peek-a-Boo Records (also home to the Octopus Project), and they're all apparently very young and a bit publicity shy.

http://hiddenbonustrack.blogspot.com/2008/12/b...

For those interested, these young, down and dirty rockers have a new ep available for download at this weird page:

http://mog.com/scotfree/blog/215354

Even though I'd seen them twice in the past few months I was guided by a simple formula: Peel + Two Japanese rock bands + Beerland = guaranteed good time. You don't to be a Calculus professor to understand that equation.

http://www.dcrockclub.com/2008/09/peel-world.html

As with last time, Peel was almost done with their set when we arrived. The two songs we did see where great. The crowd was really into it last night and there was even an impromptu dance floor in front of the stage which was kinda crazy and only slightly odd.

http://zeldaray.blogspot.com/2008/08/live-musi...

Their self-titled LP of last year pick up plenty of critical kudos and in the grand tradition of 2008 they have decided to give their new EP ‘August Exhaust Pipes’ away for free (witness the curveball that is the title track below)

Peel is like sex. They're both at their best when it's a little sloppy

Nice Peel shirt, dude

http://neiliyo.com/post/33722822

Overall, Peel appears to be a promising local band, who with maybe a little more time to develop their songwriting skills could become a band to watch out for on the local scene.

http://ondeafears.wordpress.com/2008/06/27/sho...

The Gothamist insists, “Austin seems to be pumping out the rock bands lately. The latest on our radar is Peel, who mix indie-pop with rock-noise creating anthemic lullabies.”

http://www.maggiesaustin.com/2008/06/23/concer...

The debut disc from Peel is a must . Airmail one

http://mojophenia.blogspot.com/2007/05/were-sm...

In the hands of most bands, it would probably be considered a sloppy and half-assed set-up; for Peel, the intentionally loose aesthetic is the entire point.

http://www.austinsound.net/?q=AugustExhaustPip...

That's why, for example, I can think the song "Love Soaked In Blood" by Peel is happy and bouncy and upbeat -- so happy and bouncy and upbeat that I have it on my "upbeat" playlist, next to "Love Today" and "Convoy."

http://www.troublewithroy.com/2008/05/best-son...

Just for fun (and completeness!), of all the songs I clicked on with witty reviews or funny titles, here are the 6 most fun:

The shirt that says "COKE" in rainbow letters was awesome.

I liked this song so much I bought the whole album, and was then a bit disappointed that the other songs weren’t as good as this one.

The line up tonight includes Austin's surprisingly solid indie pop outfit Peel, who will bring some rock to an otherwise mellow line up.

I’m sure nobody will be surprised about my recommendation for The Cavern show tonight. It’s all chock full of some of my favorite bands. It’s a pop-lovers veritable extravaganza.

And leading the fray are none other than our own Peel, a magnanimously kick-ass band whose bits of unbridled feedback and synthesizer explosions are balanced with a collective appreciation for the types of melodies that make ears smile.

Perhaps the only thing cooler than fronting one of Austin's best new bands is spending one's summer as a production assistant for the upcoming Survivor series shot in Southeast China. "They called us the Dream Team," recounts Peel frontman Josh Permenter.

http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/...

Peel is an unpolished band, but they’re one to keep an eye on, because they do have “the right stuff,” whatever that is exactly.

http://www.theredalert.com/reviews/peel.htm

They speak with their own musical voice, but think Modern Lovers, Television and Malkmus and you’ll be in the ballpark

Josh Parmenter - founder and major songwriter of the band - was nowhere to be seen. One wouldn't have known, however, from the show which rocked.

This Austin, Texas-based quartet's self-titled debut album is an exhilarating surprise in a largely humdrum run of spring and summer releases. Jump in and Peel out.

I have no earthly idea if this band is any good; I just like their choice of name, although their artwork/photography of a box cutter with "Let's Roll" written pretty in Sharpie is vaguely disturbing.

Sliding Doors is a favorite of ours, and other selections from the self titled release are quickly lining up and winning over our approval, as we acquaint ourselves more with these f****** cute as sh** Peel kids.

http://www.sonicitchmusic.com/?p=392

Peel’s slightly psychadelic drone-pop is sure to grab the attention of bell-bottom sportin’ shaggy haired hipsters who weren’t even alive when the band’s influences were hitting their career peaks.

http://bcgoodiebag.com/2007/04/04/two-tracks-f...

The band goes on tour for a couple weeks beginning June 8, and given how solid their album is we think it's worth heading out to see them, so we're posting the dates, too.

Peel is like Pavement on speed with several ounces of Bis stirred in. They should make Austin proud with this release and once again prove that quality music just breeds down there, painting the road map for all indie bands in the land on how it should be

It looks like I've fallen on just what all of us have been waiting for: a new perfect indie rock group. Peel rock the female-male vocals thing with fairly standard rock infused with Too Much Fun.

It sounds exactly like five people who all have great instincts in songwriting working together, but also, throwing cautions to the wind and having a good time. Overall, a very exciting debut and a classic already.

I was checking out the web site of an Austin, TX band called Peel, and the intro to one of their retro slacker-pop type songs reminded me a lot of Saturnine, a Brooklyn band from ages ago. So I dug out one of my 12-year-old Saturnine records, and sure eno

It opens with two excellent, catchy pop tunes ("Oxford" and “Bells"), but it’s not until the third track that you get to one of the record’s best. “In the City” is a full-out rocker with a shout-along chorus and a big, fat mess of distorted guit

Tastemaker stations across the country such as KCRW in Los Angeles, KEXP in Seattle and WRAS in Atlanta have been broadcasting songs from Peel’s self-titled debut across their airwaves.

The best example is "Sliding Doors," a ditty that sounds as dusty as the Texas plains, sung and played in a total lackadaisical manner, until the tender and hopeful refrain of barflies everywhere:

Peel’s music is enthusiastic, urban, and expansive; it's greased guitar feedback squawk, twisted and shredded into spectral sunshiny pop.

it's rambunctious and fun, especially "Oxford," which has fuzzed-out vocals and a sun-kissed synth line running through it.
