UK-based grunge trio Puppy have today released the video for new single ‘My Offer’, taken off the bands upcoming album ‘Pure Evil’ – due Friday, May 6 via Rude Records.
The band spoke on the new song, “the mission statement for our new album ‘Pure Evil’ was to reach into every corner of our musical interests and put together something that felt free and fun. ‘My Offer’ is (hopefully) both of those things and a pretty rare instance of us pushing the tempo up a bit. In true Puppy fashion however, we had to throw the nastiest, sludgiest riff on the record in there halfway through just to stop things getting too stale. It’s one of the new tracks we’re most excited about playing live for sure.”
The band continues about the video, “we made the video for the track using an iPhone face-hacking app normally used for lip sync videos on Tik Tok, turning the technology instead onto scenes & characters from our favourite paintings by Hieronymous Bosch. ‘The Last Judgement’ and ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights’ are two triptychs which juxtapose fantastic images of divine purity & grandeur with some of the most nightmarish & grotesque visuals ever painted; idealised visions of pastel purity & Edenic excess rub up against strange, bestial creatures which torture one-another amidst Hellish tableaus. It all feels very Heavy Metal somehow. We figured that if anything could make these eerie creatures more surreal & unnerving, having them sing along to the latest Puppy track might be a good place to start.”
‘My Offer’ is the 5th single to be taken from ‘Pure Evil’, ‘My Offer’ follows ‘Shame’, ‘The Kiss’ (currently zooming past 100,000 streams on Spotify) and the Brooklyn Vegan approved ‘…And Watched it Glow’, and shows a different side to Puppy, with its “sombre and spooky tone” – which the video perfectly captures.
Early tracks ‘Forever’ and ‘The Great Beyond’ were picked up and used in the mammoth video game series Guitar Hero. Previous singles have also seen Australian support from HEAVY Mag, MANIACS, Milky, AAA Backstage, RTR FM, SYN FM and 4ZZZ.
