Pet Needs - 'Ibiza In Winter'

Essex punk four-piece Pet Needs get real on their new single ‘Ibiza In Winter’.
Essex’s punk band Pet Needs released their second album Primetime Entertainment back in September 2022. Primetime Entertainment is a solid punk album with joyous tracks that can also take a turn to the low moments in life. It’s a ride you definitely go on if you haven’t already. On the album there is a particular song that catches your attention; the rockin guitar lead track ‘Ibiza In Winter’.
‘Ibiza in Winter’ is a positive sounding track that depicts a downward spiral of depression and creative block. The track is about Pet Need’s frontman Johnny, trying to rest, stay positive and creative. The lyrics are honest, relatable and in true punk fashion we short out the fast tempo lyrics. Now, Pet Needs have given us a gift of a music video for ‘Ibiza In Winter’. The music video directed by Billy and Imanuela follows the band exploring the party capital Ibiza during quiet winter. With shots of closed nightclubs and quiet streets. The emptiness that Johnny is singing about is present. As well, we can see it all in the close up shots of him. The music video ends at a beach, where they fight with each other. A joyous moment, where trying to stay positive in life is key.
‘Ibiza In Winter’ takes Pet Needs to a more deeper and personal level where we can all relate one way or another. While still being able to rock out and shout the lyrics, it's a highlight on the album Primetime Entertainment and one of the best music videos they have produced.
