Heavy Petting

Pet Scenes
From: London, United Kingdom

London combo (I just love that word, don't know why I just do!) Pet Scenes have taken time out from single handedly saving music from the fakes, the posers and the over sexualised bump 'n grind merchants to talk, and possibly fib, to the Devil.

The Devil: Why Pet Scenes?

Pet Scenes: Because it is ambiguous and doesn't include "the" or "one syllable plural".

The Devil: What other names did you ponder before deciding it had to be Pet Scenes?

Pet Scenes: Jesus Lizard, Big Black, Sonic Youth, but we found out that all of these had been taken already.

The Devil: Who are the biggest influences in your life and on your music?

Pet Scenes: Roy Sullivan. He was hit by lightning 7 times in his life and survived each time. The odds are insane, I think it's proof of an infinite Universe. Ironically, he died by way of a self inflicted gun shot wound. So it goes.

The Devil: What was the first record you owned and what was the first record you ever bought with your own money?

Pet Scenes: Probably something cool like Nirvana's Nevermind.

The Devil: What makes Pet Scenes stand out from the millions of other bands across the world? What makes you unique?

Pet Scenes: Ah we're not that unique, we just make loud, fast music.

The Devil: Which bands or artists on the current music scene make your spine tingle with joy?

Pet Scenes: We played with Bitches recently who were immense. Also we're in about 3 bands each and these are all INCREDIBLE: Satellites Of Love, Vad Vacker, Facel Vega, Vis Vicis, Bob Constant and The Goodbye Horses, A Sofa Made of Dust, BonBonJoviJovi.

The Devil: Favourite song?

Pet Scenes: I Wanna Be Your Dog by Iggy and the Stooges

The Devil: Favourite book?

Pet Scenes: Animal Farm by George Orwell

The Devil: Favourite Movie?

Pet Scenes: Ace Ventura

The Devil: Favourite word?

Pet Scenes: Flippant

The Devil: Tell me something that you've never told anyone before.

Pet Scenes: I am Spartacus

The Devil: If you weren't in Pet Scenes how would you keep yourself occupied?

Pet Scenes: I'd just be crying relentlessly

The Devil: If you were interviewing yourself what would your killer question be and how would you answer it?

Pet Scenes: Q: Do you dig graves? A: Yeah, yeah they're alright, yeah

The Devil: Is there anything else you'd like to tell the Devil Has The Best Tuna readers?

Pet Scenes: One of us is lying

Pet Sounds

Pet Scenes

From: London, United Kingdom

I judge a lot of the music I listen to by whether they'd have made it to the revered John Peel's radio show. I can guarantee that London twisted surf rockers Pet Scenes would have been firm Peel favourites. Man Contest sounds like someone spot welded pure rock 'n roll distilled from the sweat of Iggy Pop to the rear end of an unheard grunge b-side from the 90s creating something that's new, visceral and exciting. Living The Dog sounds like a totally mental surf rock track filtered through the back catalogue of the Cramps while That Thing On His Face sounds like a controlled explosion of the early singles of Roxy Music. No-one, I repeat no-one, sounds like this in 2011. No-one sounds this unhinged, this raw, this rock 'n roll.

This is the new sound better than the old sound.
