Review from The International Pop Overthrow Festival,at the Cavern,

“With this band, you know what you are getting and they never fail to deliver a great set, filled with catchy pop tunes that have you tapping your feet. You are guaranteed to have a great time, and if you haven’t seen them, make sure you catch them next year.”
“The sound was tight, the harmonies in place, and the reception from the crowd, fantastic. They played many new songs, but also retained in their set, some old favourites such as “Took Me By Surprise”. Good, solid pop from Scandinavia. Always a great band to see at the IPO.”

NEW CD OUT NOW !!! In June 2009 Peter & the Penguins released their first full length CD,
“How to Choose a Sweetheart”, which so far has obtained fabulous reviews.
Here are some extracts:
Alan Haber from “Pure Pop Radio” wrote:
“The marvelous "Barefoot" wears its Beach Boys worship on its intensely-melodic sleeve, no more so than during its gorgeous, opening a cappella section.
The mid-tempo toe-tapper "Sweetheart" sports a particularly catchy chorus with great harmonies.
If Beatle-esque and beat pop are your game, then you're in for a great time, and you can't beat that. A round of hearty handclaps, then, for these boys from Norway. Prepare to get Penguin-ized!”
Alan Haber

“Creative, timeless, nostalgic, current, rockin', exciting, hot... and many more adjectives aptly apply. There is not a dead puppy in the whole lot; every single song is wonderful. No filler songs here. And the sonic quality!!! Their mix engineer and mastering lab are to be commended indeed! This album is among the best I have ever heard when it comes to sonic clarity and presence. Every note, nuance... perfectly captured. The bass in particular sings out and the harmonies are something to marvel at.
These guys have their act together. Get this CD now, before it goes out of print and a major label grabs up these guys... and starts screwing up their sound! You will not regret adding this album to your collection; I guarantee it!!!”

To love someone Is to love that one To be with that someone You love... To take care of them To forgive them for what they did To be with that someone You love... To believe in their dreams As you believe in yours And that one you can always cherish This one you love Forget about control Forget about silence Remember and try not to change What could not be changed To love someone Is to be loved by someone Understanding and believing Are the reasons why You love... Time passes by so swiftly We forget what gets us by So to love someone Is a day to live by... A simple lesson in life This one we can learn today Just remember that loved one You may have let get away We are not individuals Though we think we live this way But that someone we always loved May have got away this day
To love someone...my oh my How that can get away? And how that someone May have made your day... To love someone Lies within one’s grasp And this loved one Believe me...will give you all Much more than you can ask To love someone May seem to be a simple thing So why not love that someone? Isn’t that something? To love someone May be sometimes hard to do But they always for some reason Love you back too Isn’t there something inside you That has you wanting and needing Something right in your life? And that’s to love someone? Yes, it may be sometimes hard to do But for whatever reasons They always love you back too...
