Somewhere at the crossroads of where singer/songwriters meet alternative rock bands, you will find Indianapolis-based quartet Peal. Peal has an acoustic-driven sound borne of sugar-sweet melodies and uplifting, harmony-drenched choruses that are counterpoint to songwriter Tim Wilsbach's smoky, Midwestern vocals and introspective lyrics. Simply put, this is a thinking person's pop music that doesn't break any new ground, but is so infectious that it doesn't need to.
