Rounding-off what's been a stellar year for the band, Pet Needs are coming to Cheltenham in the New Year.

With their new album 'Kind of Acoustic' due for release on January 24, the band are due to play at the Frog & Fiddle on Thursday, January 30.

A special acoustic album, their upcoming release comprises 12 tracks in total, with four songs taken from each of their three albums to date and all performed in an earthy, unplugged new guise.

Cherry picking their own personal favourite tracks of their career so far, the band decamped to the tiny Welsh village of Borth with producer Mike West, where they spent four frantic days reworking them and performing them live in the village's deconsecrated church, Our Lady Studio.

Explaining the rationale behind the new album and how 'Kind of Acoustic' came together, frontman Johnny Marriott says: "We wanted to create something warm, raw and organic. Something acoustic. Something that felt like the most true take as opposed to the most perfect.

"Presenting the songs in this way has given them space to breathe. We've never recorded like this before. Mike West was amazing at the helm, guiding us through playing by feeling and having a conversation with our instruments as opposed to just hammering the tunes out.

"We've chosen what we thought would be best presented as acoustic songs, and together have created something we're really proud of."

Amongst its 12 tracks, listeners can expect smash singles ('Get On The Roof', 'Ibiza In Winter', 'Fear For The Whole Damn World', 'Punk Isn't Dead'), alongside a smorgasbord of fan (and band) favourites from their debut 'Fractured Party Music', fiery follow-up 'Primetime Entertainment', and Official Top 20 Album 'Intermittent Fast Living'.

Teasing the release is the newly reworked version of 'The Burning Building'.
