Strictly Speaking with Pet Needs – Strictly Speaking with Stewart Pink
From getting signed to SOLD OUT shows, rave reviews to rabid fans, and embarking on extensive global tours with the likes of Frank Turner, The Hives, The Lottery Winners, Skinny Lister; demand for these four lads from Essex has been on a trajectory with the stratosphere.
A rush of adrenaline and a tornado of emotion, their third album release was recorded in just two weeks at Vada Studios with producer and sound engineer George Perks (Enter Shikari, You Me At Six, Mogwai, Skindred).
With the new album ready to go, PET NEEDS are already planting seeds for its world domination this year. Currently mounting a campaign to smash into the UK Official Top 40, an effort dubbed by the band as ‘Bottom of the Pops’, their masterplan includes a genius twelve-sleeve CD campaign (comprising a dozen collectible artworks that pay wry homage to Top of the Pops logo throughout history) poised to push them towards chart stardom.
Completing a run of UK headline shows throughout November and December 2023 plus a huge homecoming show in Colchester, PET NEEDS will next be embarking on an extensive schedule of additional live fixtures throughout the first half of 2024 with UK & European dates including The Underworld in London on 25th April plus a run of intimate in store gigs including Colchester’s HMV Store on 21st February.
