Pet Needs

Founded by brothers Johnny and George Marriott, PET NEEDS’ career has been sky-rocketing ever since the release of their acclaimed debut ‘Fractured Party Music’ back in 2021. From getting signed to Xtra Mile Recordings, to sold out shows, rave reviews to rabid fans, and embarking on extensive global tours; demand for these four lads from Essex has been on a trajectory with the stratosphere. Joined by Jules (drums) and Ryan (bass), the band released their third studio album, ‘Intermittent Fast Living’ in February 2024 which entered the Official Album Chart at Number 17.

Having attracted attention with their relentless live shows, PET NEEDS have toured extensively across the UK, US and Europe supporting Frank Turner, The Lottery Winners, The Bouncing Souls, Flogging Molly, Skinny Lister, The Hives, Art Brut and Laura Jane Grace. Their own headline tours in the UK have previously sold out and the fourth instalment of their annual Fractured Party Festival takes place in May 2025 with two acoustic shows at The Old Church in Stoke Newington and a full-on electric show at The Garage in London. They’ve played the Main Stage at Beautiful Days and Bearded Theory Festivals and won over fans at 2000Trees, Dot To Dot, The Salty Dog Cruise and many more.
