London’s alt-metal three-piece rise to new heights
DESPITE THE SHIT hitting the fan on planet Earth for the past few years, it hasn’t stopped Puppy doing their bit in making the world a better place.
Becoming underground heroes over the past seven years with their off-centre grunge/metal hybrid, fans have been on tenterhooks for a follow-up to 2019’s belter factory, The Goat. Though the band delivered on their third EP, iii, that same year, which displayed their doomier side, it seemed that they were ready to take on a sound that fans could really sink their teeth into. And goddamn, have they delivered here.
In its riffalicious glory, the aptly titled is what every sophomore album should strive to achieve. showcased that the three-piece could undoubtedly write massively catchy tunes by the barrel-load, but this record utilises their songwriting abilities to the next level, adding a gravitas that sucks
