TRACK OF THE WEEK: "Then We Kissed" By Electric Pets

This year is off to a great start with this energetic bit of business from Electric Pets. I've been a fan of the Derby four-piece since their excellent 2022 EP, and this new track is sure to be a cause for excitement.

Singer Emma Buckley sells this from the get-go. The band roars and revs up behind her, and the sound is not unlike The Pretenders covering Suzi Quatro or something. The chorus is a rush of adrenaline. I dig this and can't wait to hear more in 2024!

Electric Pets is Emma Buckley (she/her) on vocals and guitar; Phil Wagg (he/him) on guitar and backing vocals; Pete Darrington (he/him) on bass; and Adam Grace (he/him) on drums. You can get more details via the band's official Facebook page.
