London-based independent powerhouse rock label Xtra Mile Recordings and rising Essex punks Pet Needs are excited to present ‘Sleep When I’m Dead,’ the latest single lifted from the Friday, February 16th release of the band’s forthcoming studio album ‘Intermittent Fast Living.’ Its third studio release in as many years, the record gives a nod to the relentless, breathless, stop-start lifestyle PET NEEDS have found themselves living in recent times.
Lurching through your monitors at 100 mph, the Jake Deemer-Evans-directed ‘Sleep When I’m Dead’ is an invigorating clash of buzzsaw melodies and carpe diem ideologies inspired by lost nights in sticky boozers and living for what tomorrow brings.
Frontman Johnny Marriott shared the following about the track: “We wanted to subvert the tired rock n roll ‘I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead!’ mentality and celebrate both the million-mile-an-hour touring lifestyle and, well, being in our own beds, too! When you’re on the road for months, you pine for home. When you’re at home, you’re always thinking ahead to the next tour. To us, this is the ultimate ‘Intermittent Fast Living’ song: sing-along, high energy, filterless reality. Sex, drugs, booze, snooze. Perfect!”
