Pete Kyrie Band – Official Bio
high-octane guitar riffs, whiskey-burnt blues, and straight-up rebellion
Pete Kyrie has been chasing the roar of rock & roll for decades — a journey that began in the underground clubs of the ’90s and continues to this day with his powerhouse project, the Pete Kyrie Band or PKB as they are often referred as.
Long before fronting his own band, Pete carved out his reputation as the guitarist for the hard-hitting ’90s rock act Sins of Omission, who released their cult-favorite record I Reign in 1996. Known for their raw energy and unpolished edge, the band made its mark on the era with heavy riffs and a take-no-prisoners live show. That period forged Pete’s identity: a guitarist with soul, fire, and a refusal to compromise.
Today, Pete brings that same rebel spirit to the PKB — a blues-soaked, southern-tinged rock outfit built on storytelling, grit, and unapologetic live energy. Teaming up with the talented big hitter, Phil Veiga on Drums and the county outlaw Claudio Romano Jr. on Bass, his searing guitar work and weathered voice carry echoes of the past but speak directly to the now: rock music that’s honest, unfiltered, and alive.
The band’s sound is equal parts high-octane guitar riffs, whiskey-burnt blues, and straight-up rebellion, channeling the lineage of rock greats while carving its own road. Whether tearing up a festival stage or holding down a sweaty barroom gig, the Pete Kyrie Band brings a show that’s less about spectacle and more about connection — music that lives and breathes with the audience in the moment.
Their songs have been featured on Hockey Night in Canada and are spun on several radio stations across Canada and the US.
From the shadows of the ’90s scene to the frontlines of modern rock, Pete Kyrie has carried one truth through it all: music isn’t just played — it’s lived. PKB is the living proof.
