Biography | ||
Pet Lamb are a four piece guitar band from Dublin, Ireland. The band formed around 1992. They've been described as 'grinding, visceral guitar-core, dripping with melody and energy'. Their releases include their debut album "Sweaty Handshake" and several EP's. They were signed to Roadrunner Records, but are now back with blunt / Independent Records. The Lamb have been going for 5 years or so and a series of bewildering stylistic changes have seen them veer from My Bloody Valentine / Dinosaur Jr. style noise pop; to straight-ahead punk rock 'n 'roll; to their glorious present incarnation which sees them assimilate 70's influences like Beefheart, Television and prog-rock into their own surreal and memorable songwriting style. Their first two EP's were the debut releases of blunt records ("Paranoid From The Neck Down" and "Spent"). Both of these were later released together as the debut Roadrunner album "Sweaty Handshake". Their second album was recorded with Martin Bisi in New York but they were dropped by the dastardly Roadrunner soon after recording it and it's never been released. Don't fear, their upcoming album on blunt / Independent is massively superior in every respect. Pet Lamb were supposed to release their second album over a year ago, and there was loads of hassle over the artwork (or something) with Roadrunner. A quote from an interview done in April 1996 from 'The Damage Is Done' #2 :"We recorded "High Anxiety" our new album in New York in November 1995. Our record company suck 'cos they're not releasing it until Autumn 1996. A single 'Holes' will be released in May."
