Pete (stylized as pete.) was an American post-grunge and alternative metal band from New Jersey, United States. The band was most known for its song "Sweet Daze", which peaked at #17 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart in 2001.[1]
History
[edit]Early days (199X-2000)
[edit]The band toured throughout the United States, including Detroit, Toledo, and Iowa City during the mid-1990s. The band was named after "a man who always seemed to be the life of the party at a Newark, N.J., watering hole".[2]
Signing to Warner Bros. and self-titled debut (2001-2004)
[edit]The band became signed to Warner Bros. Records under "rather unique circumstances"; after providing a demo tape to a rock radio station, the song "Burn" become remarkably popular, resulting in attention and later signing to the label.[2] Pete's self-titled album, produced by Ross Hogarth and Jason Slater,[citation needed] was released on July 31, 2001.[3]
Pete appeared on the August 29, 2001 episode of HBO's concert series Reverb with nu metal bands Adema and Staind.[2]
It is implied that Pete broke up at some point before 2005.
Reformation as Sonicult (2005-2009)
[edit]In 2005, the original band members reformed as Sonicult, which released one album on Rat Pak Records in 2009. Andruska later left the band and was replaced by Freddy V.[4]
