Fine Pets cultivate different influences in such a way that it’s impossible to pin them into one specific genre. They take the raw energy you’d expect from a garage rock act, cut it with a some early shoegaze leads, a DIY punk attitude and output it through lo-fi recordings give the music an air of nostalgia. Their latest release, NO GAZE, is a collection of fuzzed-out tracks that range from calm creatures to destructive animals trying to break free from the cassette tape that holds them captive. Fine Pets will be setting these tracks lose at Habesha this Friday night, be there to celebrate their release. – Benjamin Toledo
