PREMIERE: Figurehead - Teacher's Pet

Indie pop-rockers Figurehead made their return recently with their killer new tune, Teacher's Pet, and the band has today backed that up with the release of the music video for the track, premiering on theMusic.com.au today.

If you're wondering why you haven't heard from the quartet since their last single, Suits, it's because they've been busy getting through year 12; that's right, despite having two WAM nominations under their belt, the Fremantle-founded group have not yet completed high school. 

That is a perfect way to introduce the music video for Teacher's Pet which sees Figurehead perform at the back of a packed classroom (which we can only assume was staged and not a regular day for the guys).

"Teacher's Pet is those kids at school that pretend to be best friends with the teacher to try and bump their self esteem or to manipulate their grades or even just because they don't have any other friends," Figurehead say of the song, which is the first cut from their forthcoming second EP.

"At first I found them annoying and at times amusing, but I came to find that it's in my best interest to be friends with the teacher as it could in-fact make school a tad easier.

"At the end of the day I feel we all teacher's pets and that doesn't matter."
