North London trio Puppy will be releasing their ‘Vol II’ EP on the 12th August through their own label. The news follows their recently unveiled new track, ‘Entombed’.
“With ‘Vol II’ we wanted to do expand upon the foundations we’d laid with our first EP, both musically and conceptually,” vocalist and guitarist Jock Norton explains. “I think we’d wanted the first one to essentially be four singles, whereas this one has a bit more light and shade to it. I know describing something as a “musical journey” is pretty naff but I feel it applies here, at least to some degree.”
“Another thing we were conscious of was trying to streamline our sound a bit more. People always comment on the fact that we mix a lot of indie rock ideas in with more traditionally metal sounding stuff, and I think here we wanted the lines to blur even further; hopefully rather than thinking “this bit sounds like Metallica and this bit sounds like Grandaddy” in quite a dichotomous way, the joints have been smoothed down a little and those ideas come together in a more coherent way. We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved and we’re really excited to share it with people.”
Puppy will be celebrating the release with an EP launch show in London on the 23rd August at The Black Heart. They will also be hitting the road with Sorority Noise later in the year.
