PET NEEDS VIDEO PREMIERE!

PET NEEDS VIDEO PREMIERE!

Fast-rising Colchester punks PET NEEDS are set to release their debut album next week and they're trailing it with a new video which they're premiering exclusively with Vive Le Rock!

Ever since Boudicca sacked the ancient capital in AD60, Colchester people have earned a reputation for sticking it to the man, from the Peasants' Revolt right up the Miners' Strike and the Poll Tax riots. The town has also seriously punched above its weight band-wise with the likes of Modern English, Living In Texas, Big Bird and the immortal Bum Gravy all making their mark.

Xtra Mile signings Pet Needs are carrying on that grand tradition with a string of dynamic performances with bands such as Buzzcocks, PiL and The Undertones and a head-turning spot at Camden Rocks flagging them up as ones to watch.

Described by frontman Johnny Marriott as “the ultimate Fractured Party song”, new single 'Toothpaste', is the second track to be lifted from their forthcoming debut Fractured Party Music, following on from last month's 'Tracy Emin's Bed', and observes how mundane, everyday objects can unlock deepseated memories.

The song, says Marriott, "was penned on the M1 on the way home from visiting my mum in Derby. She has bought exactly the same toothpaste for years and every time I use it, standing in the bathroom next to my childhood bedroom, it throws me right back to being an anxious little lad trying to make sense of things, haha.”
