ABOUT THIS ITEM

Prize Pets are Nottingham-dwelling freaks of the highest caliber."New Weirdos" is a thrilling and innovative slice of creepy post-punk designed to both beguile and make you sweat. All three tracks are resplendent with mangled guitar riffs, fuzz-driven bass, corrosive drums and a yelp that has led to vocalist George Haberis being compared to everyone from The Fall's Mark E. Smith to Flipper's Bruce Loose. Prize Pets inhabit an odd world, one with a soundtrack that nestles somewhere between the jerky yet controlled rhythms of Devo, the unsettling punk rock of Flipper and the interlocking, winding riffs of their friends' Lovvers' earlier material. The world needs more lunatics like Prize Pets. Amen.
