Metal Hammer (UK)

PUPPY

Major label, major riffs

-

After taking their excellent two EPs around the UK last year, 2018 will finally see Puppy release their debut full-length. With the backing of metal powerhouse Spinefarm behind them, we have no doubt that it will have been worth the wait.

“hopefully we will be inducted into the Rock And Roll hall Of Fame,” suggests vocalist/guitarist

Jock Norton of the London trio’s modest ambitions. “But we try to be realistic about these things, so that might have to wait until 2019.”

Of the band’s new material, he adds: “We’ve just pushed everything further in every possible direction, I think.

The riffs are heavier, the choruses are catchier. It’s coming along exquisitel­y.” Given the genrehoppi­ng nature of their material so far, which has resonated with everyone from stoners to indie boppers, this is an album with all the potential to break down barriers like few others in 2018.
