Pkew Pkew Pkew are one the most criminally underrated bands in North America. Hailing from Toronto, this pop-punk trio of party-loving delinquents have spent the better part of a decade relentlessly touring Canada, the US and Europe with bands like PUP, Reel Big Fish, The Flatliners and a bunch more. Their song “Mid 20s Skateboarder” was featured in the 2020 reboot of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2. They’ve appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers and performed at Riot Fest.
Their latest track, “The Night John Buck Hit Three Home Runs,” off the Siiick Days LP (out this Friday September 22nd) was inspired by life and baseball. Vocalist/bassist Mike Warne wrote the single after his grandfather’s passing, reflecting on their shared joyous memories of rooting for the Toronto Blue Jays in a family tradition.
Baseball catcher John Buck previewed the new single, proclaiming that this song is dope!…What a gift to put music to memories and tell such a great story.
This isn’t a sad song. Don’t be fooled. This is a song about watching baseball with my best pals for as long as life will allow. – Mike Warne
