On the back of a Top 20 Album and the completion of a major UK tour in the spring, PET NEEDS continue to shatter the glass ceiling with their punch-packing new single.
On ‘The Age That You Were’, the DIY Essex quartet find themselves inspired, quite literally, by a bit of household DIY from their childhood that seemed to make quite a dent on a young Johnny Marriott… As the frontman elaborates:
“I am now the age I remember my dad being when he knocked through a stud wall and fitted sliding doors in my childhood home. I can't even hang a picture frame. Still. Although I did change my car brake lights the other day!
It was especially fun to sing the line about "creatives who either (grow) up into legends or f*cking disgraces" down John Lydon's custom microphone whilst in the studio. The very one he recorded the whole last PIL album on, before gifting to the studio. I'm not saying that line is about him, but I'm not saying it's not either.”
