Pet Politics created a stir over a year ago with his one man band bedroom rock project. He so impressed Ryan at Catbird Seat that Pet Politics found a home on Catbird Records. When the music blogging medium was a smaller, quainter space he got enough traction on a couple of blogs to make a real dent. It seems that time has passed us by. With so many music blogs no one independent band can make a big enough impression or maybe so many acts are making so many smaller impressions that they cancel each other out. Either way I’m glad I received the new song from Pet Politics.
“When I Get Old” is the new Pet Politics song and for me it’s his most straightforward to dat with it’s tale of getting older, leaving the city and building something fresh by the seaside. Don’t worry though the guitars still resonate at a pitch reminiscent of VU and Lou Reed.
