With “When I Die”, Peanut Butter Mosquito delves into the pervasive presence of technology in our lives.

Throughout their 20-year hiatus, the music industry has undergone significant changes, largely due to the propulsion of technology. Peanut Butter Mosquito has witnessed this evolution and recognizes the need to adapt to the new landscape.

The band’s music is known for its ability to captivate audiences of all ages, particularly those who appreciate alternative rock and pop music. With a focus on college-age crowds and individuals who can relate to their experiences, Peanut Butter Mosquito continues to create music that speaks to their listeners’ hearts.
