Petal is an innovative American rock band hailing from Scranton, Pennsylvania, known for their unique sound and emotional depth. Founded in September 2013, the band initially gained attention with the self-released EP “Scout,” which showcased their potential and caught the eye of Run For Cover Records.

In 2015, Petal made a significant mark on the music scene with the release of their debut album, “Shame,” on October 23. The album featured the standout single “Sooner,” which helped establish their presence in the alt-rock genre. Critics praised the album for its introspective lyrics and engaging melodies, setting the stage for Petal’s continued evolution as artists.

The band’s sophomore album, “Magic Gone,” released on June 15, 2018, further solidified their reputation. The lead single, “Better Than You,” received acclaim for its catchy hooks and emotional resonance. Music publications highlighted the album’s ability to blend heaviness with lightness, creating a comforting yet poignant listening experience that resonated with fans.

Petal’s commitment to their craft is evident in their extensive touring efforts, including a co-headlining tour with Camp Cope and a worldwide tour that spanned the United States, Europe, and Japan. With a rotating lineup of talented musicians and Kiley Lotz at the helm, Petal continues to captivate audiences with their heartfelt performances and compelling discography.
