Puppy have announced details of their second album Pure Evil, due out on May 6 via Rude Records.

The follow-up to 2019's The Goat, the trio say that LP number two "gave us a bit of purpose and something to cling on to" during the pandemic, and has resulted in a record that is both poppy and heavy (as is the Puppy way).

"I think we all liked how dumb it sounded," says vocalist/guitarist Jock Norton of the album title, "but then the dichotomy of the two words really resonated as well. Broadly speaking I think we’ve always tried to combine classic pop songwriting with a love of heavier music, and on this album I think we take that a step further with some of our loudest moments combined with some of our sweetest.

"It feels like a nice way to say something about the band and our ethos while ultimately still being able to call it something stupid."
