Peach Pact

Staying hydrated with Peach Pact

A jam party brought Vanessa Tignanelli, Holly Cunningham, and Linds Sullivan together to form Peach Pact in 2018 and the North Bay, Ontario-based trio has been kicking out excellent grunge-infused punk rock ever since. The band's incredible energy is captured perfectly on their debut album Die Hydrated which was recorded live off the floor at Sudbury’s Deadpan Studios. The nine tracks fly by in a flurry of driving rhythms, dynamic riffs, superb melodies, and powerful vocals. The band’s songwriting prowess is on full display as they explore what it means to stay hydrated in a society that only seeks to drain, tear into societal expectations, discuss the ongoing fight for bodily autonomy, and highlight the importance of community with cathartic lyrics that are impossible not to sing along to.

Die Hydrated will be out everywhere on June 13. You can pre-order the album here and here or you can pre-save the album right here. Peach Pact will be playing their album release show in September.

Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with bassist and lead vocalist Vanessa, drummer Holly, and guitarist and backing vocalist Linds to talk about the album, taking inspiration from the desert, what it means to be truly hydrated, creating community, and so much more. Read the interview below!

This interview between Em Moore, Vanessa Tignanelli, Holly Cunningham, and Linds Sullivan took place in May 2025 via Zoom. What follows is a transcription of their conversation that has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

Motorhead release video for "Leaving Here"

Motorhead release video for “Leaving Here”

Motorhead have released a video for "Leaving Here." This particular cut of the song is taken from The Manticore Tapes, which is an hereto unreleased session where the band was working on what would be their first album in 1976.

In 1979, On Parole was released. On Parole was comprised of recordings taken from the band's aborted first sessions for the first album, which occurred in 1975, before the Manticore sessions. The band's "true" first album, Motorhead was recorded in 1977 after the Manticore sessions. All three Lps have most of the same songs. The mian difference between On Parole and subsequent attempts at the band's first album is that On Parole has Larry Wallis of Pink Fairies on guitar, while the other releases have classic Motorhead member Fast Eddie Clarke.

The lineup on the Manticore recordings are Lemmy (bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar) and Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor (drums). The album is out June 27 and you can check out the video below.
