About Pet Needs

Pet Needs are a high-energy punk rock band from Colchester, UK, known for their explosive live shows, sharp-witted lyrics, and anthemic choruses. Fronted by Johnny Marriott, the band blends elements of classic punk, indie rock, and post-punk, drawing comparisons to IDLES, Frank Turner, and The Clash. Their music is filled with raw emotion, tongue-in-cheek humour, and a defiant DIY ethos that has earned them a dedicated following.

Their debut album, Fractured Party Music (2021), was produced by Frank Turner, who later took them on tour as a support act. The follow-up, Primetime Entertainment (2022), showcased a refined yet still chaotic sound, tackling themes of modern life, anxiety, and self-reflection. 

Having attracted attention with their relentless live shows, Pet Needs have toured extensively supporting Frank Turner, The Lottery Winners, The Bouncing Souls, Flogging Molly, Skinny Lister, The Hives, Art Brut, NOFX, The Levellers, Spike & The Gimmie and Gimmies and Laura Jane Grace. Their own headline tours in the UK have previously sold out including their annual Fractured Party Festival which took place in May 2025 at The Garage in London and The Old Church in Stoke Newington. 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.
