Indoor Pets Sign To Alcopop! Records and Release New Single “London (Love To Hate)”

Kent UK quartet Indoor Pets have re-emerged with news that they have signed to their original label home Alcopop! Records and will release their new album in Spring 2024. The band have also revealed the lead single, London (Love To Hate), ahead of a short run of run of sold out UK headline dates. London (Love To Hate) is a primal scream, written and recorded in the infrequent gaps between the band’s work schedules, a way to blow off steam in the darkened corners of Kent’s Squarehead Studios, testing just how loud every amp, every drum and every vocal chord can go. The new single is a cacophony of anger; a shotput of fuzzed-out guitars thrown at an ever-expanding wall of apathy; a hate note of emotional grunge with a sing-along hook only a few degrees of separation away from 1990’s BritPop in all its pomp and circumstance.

“London (Love To Hate) is a track that’s been bubbling under the surface for some time. 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.” (vocalist Jamie Glass)
