Indoor Pets by Jess Greaves
Indoor Pets play gigs in London and Manchester this week.
Indoor Pets have returned to Alcopop! Records and released their brand new single London (Love To Hate).
An album is set to follow in the spring of this year from the band who were guests of Live4ever at SXSW 2016 during their Get Inuit days.
“London (Love To Hate) is a track that’s been bubbling under the surface for some time,” vocalist Jamie Glass has said. “It’s about my frustration with struggling to make ends meet while surviving in the capital.
London is about watching the bills pile up and swell whilst the hourly-pay jobs needed as a small musician wither with atrophy. Living in one of the most exciting music hubs in the world and observing everybody and their dog take a pay-rise, book a holiday, and buy property off the back of the starry-eyed artists that litter the streets. Being thankful that there is a roof over my head for another month yet ashamed of the Universal Credit sum falling in my wallet, knowing there are so many in the city that deserve it more.
“The city is no longer a home for the working-class. And as those people leave in their droves, with them leaves the ingenuity and empathy that they provided.”
