Essex-based quartet She’s In Parties fronted by Irish singer Katie Dillon have shared their second studio EP, Puppet Show, via Submarine Cat Records. The 5-track collection featuring the singles Puppet Show and The Man was Produced by Stephen Street (The Cranberries & The Smiths), and sees the group lean into their 80s influences with quirky synth riffs and experimental guitar sounds combined with an unexpected dollop of politics.

“It’s a timeless topic, people have always and will always sing about injustices, often though, people want an escape and sing about things like love because sometimes that’s easier than telling the truth.” Katie says.

“I’m certainly not a political person and would opt for escapism in music, but sometimes there are things that happen in our society or on social media that you just can’t avoid. They’ve been plaguing my mind especially, so I’ve been writing about this stuff a lot more and it has now become a prevalent theme in this next EP.”
