A DAY IN THE LIFE: PLEASURE CENTRE

Introducing Pleasure Centre: a five-piece alternative rock piece straight out of Leeds. Their brand-new single, Heart, is the electrifying first taste of their upcoming self-titled EP, set to drop on 28.03.25. This new sound is a riot—raw, euphoric, and guaranteed to have you dancing naked from room to room (Aneela, you're not alone!).

At F Word, we couldn’t resist the chance to get a glimpse into their world. Join us as we spend a day in the life with Pleasure Centre and dig a little deeper into what makes them tick.

F Word: If you had to assign a temperature, colour, and a taste to this single, what would they be?

Aneela: Definitely quite hot, it's always a really sweaty one to play live that just gets you going and then red, because it just has this anger fuelled emotion within it that keeps building up. Taste would be something salty but also sweet, like salted caramel ice cream.

David: Its' definitely hot, red, and tastes very metallic.

F Word: What are you hoping people will take from this song?

Aneela: Whatever they want it to be. Dance to it, jump around in your house from room to room naked home alone, that’s what I do, lol.

David: However people wanna take it. I think we want everything we do to speak for itself, and let people decide what impulse and feeling it gives them.

F Word: What genre could you see yourself experimenting with for a future project?

Aneela: Definitely electronic music. I'd like to blend it with guitar music and I think Radiohead does that perfectly. (We’re all sweaty nerds when it comes to Radiohead).

David: I think personally, wherever the road take us, that’s where we’ll go. I don’t like thinking about genre too hard. I think how we’d like our music to be conceived is individually taking an amalgamation of sounds and influences, and packing it into a blender. The genre is whatever people want it to be!

F Word: If you had to choose one component for a great Song, EP or Album, what would it be?

Aneela: Percussion.

David: Expression. When you think about the idea of what the artist is trying to say and how you perceive it, they will become in-phase with each other.

Fuck, Marry, Kill: Album, Ep, Single?

Aneela: Fuck ‘Happy Days!’ EP by The Ninth Wave, Marry ‘In Rainbows’ by Radiohead, Kill anything by Machine Gun Kelly.

David: I’d Marry an album, kill a single, and fuck an EP.

F Word: If you had to choose a career completely outside of anything having to do with music, what would it be?

Aneela: Well outside of the band I’m a freelance photographer doing press photos, music videos, fashion editorials, etc, so basically that full-time. Or anything creative to be honest, as long as I’m creating and surrounded by passionate creative people.

David: I’d love to get into circuitry and general electronics.

F Word: What's motivating you the most lately?

Aneela: To be honest, since graduating university this summer, probably the impending doom and anxiety of having to make something of myself is what’s keeping me going. I'm also just constantly listening to club mixes, stuff like The Dare, Charli XCX, The Prodigy, it just puts me in such a good mood and gets me pumped to work on my projects. But also ever so often David or Fredi will show me a cool electronic/ambient track they’ve been working on and it gets me so excited.

David: Enjoying the process of creation.
