Following on from both The Kiss (currently zooming past 100,000 streams on Spotify) and the Brooklyn Vegan approved …And Watched it Glow, Shame shows a different side to Puppy, with its sombre and spooky tone.

“Shame is possibly our favourite song on the album (although they’re all stone-cold rippers),” says the band. “It marks a big step forward for us creatively in our minds because you’ve still got all the hallmarks of our ‘sound’ (sweet harmony guitars, sad boi lyrics), but set against these big snappy grooves between the drums and bass. We wanted you to be able to blast it out your low rider with the windows down whilst analysing your life choices and maybe crying a bit.”

The band have also today launched their pre-orders for the forthcoming album Pure Evil. Due on May 6th, pre-orders launched today include very limited vinyl runs, CD, cassette tape, album merch and a Puppy Pure Evil candle. You can see all of these items and pre-order the album HERE or pre-order digitally HERE.

The band continues, “We are also very excited to say vinyl pre-orders for our new album Pure Evil are now live. Buy them for yourselves, loved ones, and even sworn enemies that you’re looking to bury the hatchet with. You could also throw an exclusive t-shirt or scented candle into the mix to enhance your listening experience even further.”

Earning early comparisons to acts like The Smashing Pumpkins, Dinosaur Jr and “Weezer fronted by Papa Emiritus of Ghost” (Noisey), Puppy have cemented their status as the oddballs of up & coming heavy music with performances at festivals Glastonbury, Download UK, 2000 Trees and Bloodstock Open Air to name a few. Early tracks Forever and The Great Beyond were picked up and used in the mammoth video game series Guitar Hero, while previous single The Kiss was featured on both The Rock Show and Indie Show on BBC Radio 1.
