Fifty-three seconds. That’s all it takes for Can I Pet That Dog? to convince you No Peeling are something else. Half talk-sung, half shrieked, fully bonkers, it lurches between rubbery basslines, blown-out guitars, and synths that sound like they came from outer space. And that’s just track one.

The Nottingham four-piece burn through seven songs in the time it takes most bands to find the right guitar pedal. Released on Feel It Records (the Cincinnati label who usually stick closer to home with their roster additions—guess they couldn’t resist hopping across the pond for this one), the No Peeling EP feels like a playground where every turn is a new trick: chaotic, catchy, and way smarter than it pretends to be. Forget categories, this is just pure fun.

Now, let me catch my breathe before I dive in for another round.
