The Pets (2000s band) explained
The Pets were an indie rock and power pop band from Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada.[1] The members of The Pets were Chris Peters, Matthew Peters, Myron Schulz and Stephen Senkiw.
History
The Pets came together in 1999 and began to record power pop songs using a computer and rented portable studio equipment.[2] In between recording sessions, which extended over about eight months, they played a few live shows locally.[3] [4] They then approached Endearing Records, which released the tracks as an album, Love and War, in 2000;[5] [6] by this time The Pets had disbanded. The album was reviewed favourably[7] [8] and received considerable airplay on college radio in Canada, particularly in Winnipeg. Members of the Pets went on to form The Waking Eyes.[9]
