Los Angeles indie rock artist Petey has unveiled their new single “Big Bad!” today.

The track, which can be heard below, is the first piece of new music from the artist since the release of their 2021 debut album Lean Into Life. The artist said this about the song, which is out on digital services right now:

"’Big Bad!’ is about when things seem bad in a big way. Not to be confused with times when things seem just a little bit bad! My friend Neil says it sounds like if Modest Mouse and Blink-182 made a song.”

This summer, the artist will make festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Hinterland Music Festival Outside Lands., and Pygmalion Festival. In September, Petey will embark on a headlining tour mixed with opening slots for Manchester Orchestra. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.
