Pentire are a bunch of guys from a small town (Herefordshire, England) who “make pop songs for the post-jangle generation through the smiles and sweat of the mosh pit.” A fun turn of phrase indeed, which makes my next sentence sound bland as hell. Here’s a nice slice of indie pop/rock that, inexplicably, I can only find on Soundcloud. Enjoy my nearly flavorless introduction and press play. You’re likely to enjoy this one.
EDIT: Well I’ll be… it is a cover and I hadn’t realized it. This is a cover of Tellison, which can be found on their Bandcamp. And… I did have that song already and just plum forgot. Thanks Randy!
I swear I’ll get my Christmas music mojo flowing soon.
Bottom Line: Pentire are indeed Christmas music fans – keep an eye on them. They are who I discovered Devon from…

Lovely! Appears to be a fulsome cover of a much more twee, lo-fi 2011 recording: https://open.spotify.com/album/3yv5lE0W1YLS4HewI7fJ0B
…which I figured out through Pentire’s own playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3YWZ3bDCVr88QfruMVEyy9
Tellison has another one from 2013: https://open.spotify.com/album/5XKnElMY7IkR6fEDc2xh4v
All of this is new to me…
