Prize Pets are a four piece from Nottingham. We won’t hold that against them, either. Their first single ‘New Weirdos’ has just come out on Sex Is Disgusting. And I heartily approve. Lead song – ‘New Weirdos’ is a fantastic song where everything is pushed as loud it can be in the mix. And what a fierce mix it is, mashing together distorted rock’n'roll that comes informed by the likes of The Birthday Party and Gallon Drunk with the faintest echoes of mid 80s Butthole Surfers lurking in the back ground like a trippy teenager.
The two B sides are just as good too with ‘Chocolate Advert’ grinding an incessant Fall-esque riff and ‘Poncho’ is all frantic guitars and frenetic drumming. Lovely.
I want to hear more of this band.
