Needy Pet are a pawsitive energy punk rock’n’roll band from Dundalk/Dublin. Formed in 2024, inspired by a retriever/labrador mix called Alfie, they have hit the ground running, gigging all around the North East.
Highlights have included supporting the legendary Outcasts in The Spirit Store Dundalk, and releasing their first two singles; the socially conscious “Mental Health” and “Alpha Male”, in 2025.
For fans of 70s glam rock, proto-punk, and grunge.
Praise for 'Mental Health':
“With a sultry bassline and a powerful vocal performance, “Mental Health” is a seductively simple song that crawls into your brain and doesn’t let go,” - New Noise Magazine
“A raging reflection on the state of Irish mental health services, ‘Mental Health’ showcases Needy Pet’s ability to create catchy ‘70s inspired anthems with a fresh, socially conscious drive.” - Get In Her Ears.
