#003: Puppy (Jock Norton, Billy Howard and Will Michael)

Listen Later

Ahead of the release of their sophomore album 'Pure Evil', Danny (pronouns: he/him) sits down with London-based alt-rock pranksters Puppy: lead singer/guitarist Jock Norton (he/him), drummer Billy Howard (he/him) and bassist/singer Will Michael (he/him).

The band talk about their decision to self-produce 'Pure Evil' in the face of the global pandemic, their approach to their often-baffling visuals and their upcoming UK tour (AKA 'Tour Evil'). You can also expect chat about Danny Elfman, creepy nursery rhymes and the much-missed Gadget Shop along the way...
