Song Premiere: Petrol – “Run It Down”

Posted: by The Editor

Philadelphia indie rockers Petrol burst to life earlier this year with their debut Cheap Hotel, an eclectic mix of grunge haze, post-hardcore fury, space rock blur, and jangle pop sparkle. It’s a whirlwind of a first record, an impressive leap into the scene. Today, we’re excited to bring you a new single from the band, a sort of coda to Cheap Hotel. It’s called “Run It Down,” and it’s streaming exclusively below.

The single departs from the alt rock propulsion of that record, leaning into their folksier influences. It’s a pretty unique song within their catalog, and it’s one of their absolute best. Give “Run It Down” a listen below.

Cheap Hotel is out now.
