The Pedals are a power pop band with the hooks and melodies of the past presented to a new generation. Taking influences from classic artists like The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Bee Gees and Badfinger; The Pedals meld the gap between past and present with their strong sense of catchy melodies and rich vocal harmonies.
The band was first conceived by songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Dylan James and Marisol Cruz who had a passion to bring back that melodic sound that made those songs of the past so timeless. Their recording debut was released back in July of 2021 with their single "Ever So Long," which set the tone for their debut album released later that same year. The album, titled Homemade, is an adventure into classic pop music filled half with sunshine, Beatleseque pop originals and the other half with tasteful arrangements of past classics. The following year saw the release of two new singles in The Hollies style "True To You" and the 70's Archies influenced "She's The Sunshine." All releases that showcased the talents of James and Cruz as not only exceptional upcoming songwriters and arrangers but as talented multi-instrumentalists and producers.
With the addition of two new bandmates, Dominique Hallberg (Guitar) and Greg Dent (Guitar, Trombone & Vocals), The Pedals have taken their music to the stage and back to the recording studio as a newly formed quartet. Their newest single is their greatest effort yet filled with a heart warming melody, rich layers of vocal harmonies and a tasteful orchestration that continues the trend of The Pedals evolving sound.
