Peter was the frontman for legendary punk band Dag Nasty (Dischord Records) and currently fronts hardcore band Field Day (Unity Worldwide Records).

With "Hitsville, PA," Peter and Hunter build on their DC hardcore roots by texturing in a diverse array of influences. Powerful, evocative lyrics are underpinned by punk, post-punk, and dub to develop one of the most memorable releases. You'll hear vestiges of New Order, Wire, TV on the Radio, Joy Division, Franz Ferdinand, and the Kinks. Package design by the esteemed graphic designers Jeremy Dean and Simon Tripcony.
"Uranium Rush Records has absolutely knocked it out of the park with this first release" - Greg Polard, Where it Went Podcast
"The post punk, new wave, soul and dub sounds swirl and uncoil, weaving their way into your subconscious. Lovingly packaged, this is the kind of old school release that is perfect for pouring through the booklet while the records’ spinning." - Brian Gathy, End on End podcast
"If you're an old hardcore head looking for some sort of redemption then you just may find it here. Give a listen to "Hitsville, PA" and then listen 10 more times and you’ll hear something new each time, I guarantee it." - Tim Hinley, Dagger fanzine
"So much of this has snap and power. And all along, the sinewy twists, turns, and detours from the obvious make "Hitsville, PA" such an engaging release." - Glenn Griffith, A Pessimist is Never Disappointed
