power pop, indie pop
Philadelphia's 2nd Grade, fronted by Peter Gill, crafts delightful indie pop with a strong power pop sensibility, reminiscent of bands like Teenage Fanclub. Their music, featured on albums like "Hit to Hit" and "Scheduled Explosions," is known for its brief, hooky songs and an overall breezy, optimistic feel. They are a notable presence in the vibrant Philly indie scene and have played shows in indie venues.
