The release arrives in the midst of a special acoustic tour of the UK - catch them on the road now!

Mother Vulture's latest track, Slow Down, (out Thursday 30 January 2025) is a visceral sonic journey that delves into the depths of the human psyche.

It’s a musical manifestation of anxiety and self-destructive tendencies, capturing the experience of wrestling with inner demons.

HIMALAYAS have announced their new album BAD STAR for release on April 25th via Nettwerk Music Group. The album is available to pre-order now here.

It was raw, witty, and soaked in the sweat of British nightlife. Fast-forward almost two decades, and the ghost of that era lingers on – or worse, it’s been repackaged and sold back to us in a way that feels stale, calculated, and depressingly uninspired.

I love it when PET NEEDS release new material, even better when the new release is a collection of 12 classic tracks that have been revisited, reimagined and rerecorded acoustically, read on to find out what it’s all about….
