Intitulado 'She doesn't bother', esse videoclipe foi lançado no segundo dia de Agosto e que iremos apresentar logo a seguir. Sendo uma faixas mais recentes deles, ela é definida como uma espécie de "música espiritual sobre alguém que não quer ajuda e temos que perceber que temos que aceitar isso", comenta o release oficial.
Com uma sonoridade que trafega por vertentes do rock como o alternativo/garage/punk, nos quesito instrumentais, enquanto o estilo vocal passa principalmente pelo indie rock ao longo de toda extensão dessaa faixa.
The band The Buddha Pests was created by the frontman Peter Derzbach in 2006 and since then he is the only permanent member of this great rock group.
Now the band is based in London, where it has successfully resumed active concert activity after the pandemic. The Buddha Pests also includes musicians from Italy and Spain, which makes this band a colorful and unique phenomenon on the London rock scene.
Their new single is called 'She doesn't bother' and is a composition that fully shows their talent and charisma. The song fascinates with its twists and turns and various style searches that cover psychedelic rock and grunge, garage rock and alternative.

The Buddha Pests are a continental Punk and Alt Rock outfit fronted by the talented Peter Derzbach from Hungary, with Italian Alessandro and Nicola on the Lead Guitar and the Bass respectively, and Jonathan, a Spaniard, on the Drums. Having fronted the band since 2006, surviving multiple guises and lineups, Peter is an experienced musician with no little amount of dedication, and his optimism regarding the band’s current lineup is easy to spot the reason for.
The Buddha Pests, is a band that has had some formations, since its beginning in 2006, being currently composed by Peter Derzbach only constant, Alessandro, Nicola and Johnathan, who with their different personalities and lifestyles, help to create more intense layers. and mixed for the compositions.
Talent and poetry of a dark soul, key components that generate the lyrics of sound works, stories surrounded by beauty and emotions, creating scenarios and illustrations that go beyond the mind, and connect to the soul.

Lennon, Jagger, Cobain the most successful bands have a prominent leader, a characteristic enigma, the ego at the forefront, who’s driving force of ambition catapults the band. All bands need this person it keeps the band from going stagnant, it keeps the band in order! Peter Derzbach is the one constant from a band that started playing gigs on the London circuit in 2006. that prominent frontman has kept this band alive through several band changes. Peter is more than happy now with the current line-up which has been together for almost two years and the plans they have, tells me this line-up is The Buddha Pests to move them into people consciousness.
Setting the tone with industrial, electric guitar, expanding with percussion details and an immersive bassline,
The Buddha Pests open the Radio Edit of She Doesn’t Bother with intrigue and atmospheric vocals.
However, the video version of the track opens with a luxurious and ethereal introduction with the introspective lyrics, “She doesn’t bother, I wanna save my lover, but she doesn’t bother…”, as the band from London tease the concept of the track with a live performance style scenario, before the track explodes into the industrial guitar from the main body of the opus.

THANK YOU ALL.

"Love the hollow drum sound to introduce that John Bonham odd beat. Love the guitar crunch sound. 1:19 is a cool little coyote howl that I can dig. The music reminds me of like Neil Young's Rust never Sleeps combined with like an Alice In Chains. Makes me wanna go smoke another pack of cigs haha. The album cover is sick btw. Good work here mate!

“All Alone was written in a period of my life when I was single after a long relationship and enjoyed my life as a single man not wanting a relationship and generally enjoying what single life means. I don’t mean running after one night stands. My life was really set up to get lost in movies, art, friends, sports and looking after myself generally, to improve myself for better, for soul, body and mind. It was a conformable way of life in London as all I had to look after was me. London helps in that to make the most out of a single. I noticed that I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed this way of life in London.

From London, alt-punk and metal band The Buddha Pests are making quite the name! With multiple releases and having just returned from their UK tour, their sound is being compared to that of The Pixies, Queens of the Stoneage, and Joy Division. In 2006, singer-songwriter Pete Derzbach started the project. Atilla Pal on bass and occasionally vocals, as well as Simon Du Toit on vocals, are currently featured. The Buddha Pests are here to bring an exciting mix of psychedelic and heavy rock that stimulates and delights the imagination.

The Buddha Pests' biography :
Lennon, Jagger, Cobain the most successful bands have a prominent leader, a characteristic enigma, the ego at the forefront, who’s driving force of ambition catapults the band. All bands need this person it keeps the band from going stagnant, it keeps the band in order!
Last week I had the pleasure to have a chat with lead singer/guitarist and leader of promising psychedelic rock band The Buddha Pests,
Peter Derzbach is the one constant from a band that started playing gigs on the London circuit in 2006. that prominent front-man has kept this band alive through several band changes. Peter is more than happy now with the current line-up which has been together for almost two years and the plans they have, tells me this line-up is The Buddha Pests to move them into people consciousness.
Hungarian born Peter is Joined by Italian born, Alessandro (lead Guitar) and Nicola (Bass) friends, who were both recruited through an online advertisement and Spanish born Johnathan (Drums) who’s fate was drawn to the band in a chance meeting on the High-street with Alessandro where he happened to ask if he knows of any bands looking for a drummer? Coincidentally Alessandro knew of one The Buddha Pests.
A very continental line-up that helps bring different directions of music, this mixed with different personalities adding even more intense layers. For example, Alessandro is a devoted vegan that produces delicious vegan recipes for the band, Nicola a Barista at The Coffee Tree in Camden Town, makes what Peter describes as the best coffee in London and Jonathan not only a drummer but a DJ and loves hip-hop and rap music.
The Buddha Pests have two great albums available, two very different albums but with correlating dark, mysterious, hazy sounds with a cryptic and strong vocal front. it’s no surprising influences range to literature concealed with despair and questioning of life. The Buddha Pests first album ‘Excluded from the Cemetery’ takes its name from track on the album that Peter based around the same named Novel by Peter Marshall, a hard-to-find novel in the UK but very popular in Hungary.
The Buddha Pests produce music you disappear into, draped with a poetical backdrop of lyrics, each song is like droplets of rain through a mist during a heatwave, so much going on, with each element creating its own emotion. You can certainly hear traces of Nick Cave and Velvet Underground especially within the lyrics, the sound certainly blends into the 70s psychedelic era and more recent sounds reminded me of the band Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster.
The music portrays stories, the poetry of a dark soul the visionary Peter, which no surprise produced some of the band’s videos and behind the forthcoming documentary, a gifted mind that is ambitious and forward thinking. This produces some of the most ingenuity beautiful music.
The band have a busy 2022, starting with the release of ‘Temporal Abyss’ as an acoustic version, a stripped back version of a fan favorite from the second album ‘Alone Ignored No Trouble’. followed by release new track ‘She Doesn’t Bother’ mixed and mastered by Nicola, who while not making coffee or playing Bass is an amazing sound-man, closely followed by a documentary in Feb/March hopefully paving the way for a third album.
You can find both Buddha Pests albums ‘Excluded from The Cemetery’ and ‘Alone Ignored No Trouble’ on Spotify, go follow them on Instagram @thebuddhapests and their YouTube Channel to insure you are kept updated on the busy year ahead.
