Formed in April 2022 by Eric Peters (vocals/guitar), Alex Dauer (bass), Justin Stoks (drums), and David Burger (guitar), Perfect Animal draws inspiration from artists such as The Cure, Mac Demarco, and Snail Mail. Perfect Animal personified the DIY attitude in both their musical and visual storytelling. "We believe that the best art comes from the ability to directly convey the events of your life and feelings - knife to bone," frontman Eric Peters says. "If we can make an emotional impact on just one person, then we've done what we set out to do in the first place."
