PET NEEDS RELEASE BRAND NEW TRACK SEPARATION ANXIETY
THE ESSEX PUNK ROCK BAND PREPARE FOR UK WITH NEW SINGLE
New song Separation Anxiety is a blazing, punk-bristled offering that unfolds as a warped interpretation of the traditional love song; its breakneck instrumentals and runaway riffs embellishing vocals spun with offbeat declarations of undying devotion.
As frontman Johnny explains;
Separation Anxiety is an unconventional, subverted love song about my wife Lorna. We have been together almost 15 years and had never spent more than two weeks apart until last year. I know Lorna would absolutely cringe at anything too over-sincere, so shouting that I love her more than anyone else does is more her style!
Johnny – Pet Needs
As they put the finishing touches to their highly anticipated third album, Separation Anxiety is the first peek of what PET NEEDS have been up to in recent months. Neatly capturing the band’s fun-focused and frenetic approach to music-making, but also their knack for injecting life’s deeper deliberations into the mix.
“It also explores the notion of loving oneself, which seems to have been pedalled for the last decade by sloganeering self-destructive indie bands who don’t practise what they preach. Maybe I fit into that camp, too. Dammit.
Johnny – Pet Needs
PET NEEDS will perform Separation Anxiety, plus other new material, and established favourites at a stretch of UK headline shows throughout November and December. The band will also wrap-up the year with a huge homecoming show at Sub Zero in Colchester, in what is set to be their biggest headline gig to date; with very special support from The Lottery Winners.
