Charging forward with a confidence that belies the band’s infancy, PEI’s Moment of Eclipse has delivered a debut single that shows off some serious chops for the young band. “Obsessive, Compulsive” is a driving rock jaunt with major earworm potential. A solid pairing of headbanging instrumentals with some smooth, loquacious vocals, the track evokes the spirit of east coast rock while bringing a unique personality to the table.
