Pet Needs

In 2020, the future for PET NEEDS, as with so many other bands, looked precarious. Now, in 2022, they’re poised to take on the world with the release of their second album ‘Primetime Entertainment’. It’s been one hell of a ride so far.

“We’d been together since 2016, we were having fun with it, a punk band playing punk shows to our friends,” says Johnny Marriott, singer, songwriter, guitarist. “At the start of 2020, we didn’t know if we were going to carry on as a band. But we thought we’d throw everything at recording an album.” The resulting album, ‘Fractured Party Music’, is that classic debut in that everything up to that point was poured into it. Yet it’s still a surprise to hear that thrilling, fan-favourite singles ‘Toothpaste’ and ‘Tracey Emin’s Bed’ were written just two weeks before recording, showing the creative fire was still fierce.
