Albums From Behind 1996 -----------------Weatherman Said? 2002

Press Reviews December 2001 review from STRUTTERZINE... FROM BEHIND-3 PETERS (HIGH DESERT RECORDING) One look at the cover photo of the CD of the New Mexico settled band 3 PETERS and you wonder if these guys are really coming out of the USA, because without any doubts it looks like a typical Dutch background. Then reading some additional info on 3 PETERS and indeed the picture was taken in Holland. The CD was recorded in 1996 and they did take the picture a couple of blocks away from the hard rock cafe in Amsterdam. The production isn't superb, but we can live with it, musically this 3-piece band is playing very good melodic rock in the 80s tradition. Most of all, they remind me of the American STRANGER, a band from the midwest that released a bunch of records in the 80s and early 90s. There are 10 tracks on the CD, and there are some really excellent melodic rocktunes among them. Opener "Love gone crazy" is a nice semi melodic rocker in the late 80s style (WHITE LION, WINGER). Then comes one of the best tunes, the fantastic classy 80s fun uptempo AOR/Melodic rocker "I won't come around" (a very catchy song a la DANGER DANGER). The following 2 songs are nothing special, the groovy "Heart attack" and the instrumental "Rock'n'roll blues". The following 2 songs are then again very impressive. These are the uptempo melodic rocker "I'll never leave you" and the lovely (pure 80s) AOR ballad "Flying blind" (REO SPEEDWAGON style). The first weak song is up next, the bluesy "Xoxo Blues". "Age of darkness" (great uptempo Melodic Hardrock, pure 80s) and "I want you" (pure early 1980s melodic poprocker a la STRANGER 1982, a very catchy chorus!) are much better and quite impressive actually! The CD closes with the average groovy tune "Sleezy U". So, the production is ok, but nothing big, but some of the songs are very good. If you like STRANGER, then you will love 3 PETERS. Band is currently working on a new CD.

CRUEL INTENTION Production® 2002 III PETERS Form to you in 1994 and the escapes in 1996 with this "From Behind", III the Peters are composed not just give of the giovincelli, in fact drummer the Tim Ju and the guitarist Gabriel Torma play with from 1978. The trio comes closed from the bassist Jesse Rodriguez, and in spite of the aspect not properly "rock" these three gentleman have realized a good product influenced from the hard rock of Eighties tradition, where melodie, guitars and a touch of blues miscelano very well. The "I Won't Come Around" and "I'll Never Leave You" are two melodic rock truly being involved (above all before!), a mix between WHITE LION and LYNN ALLEN, while "Flying Blind" is the slow one of the cd, perhaps a Pò too much stereotyped in order to exit from the mass. The others my preferred pieces are the blues rock of "Xoxo Blues" and the party rock of "I Want You", this last with the chorus rubacchiato to 50' s. the Hour band of the New Mexico it is in study to record according to album... if they continue on the wake of these four compositions then you will feel some still to speak!!! www.mp3.com/iii_peters www.iiipeters.com mail to: iiipetersmail@aol.com by Moreno Lissoni
