Fat Dog have just dropped their highly-anticipated debut album, serving up a frenetic feast of sound that defies categorisation and demands attention.

Hold onto your eardrums, folks! Fat Dog is here to shake you to your core. Born in lockdown madness and forged in London’s underground, this band of misfits has risen meteorically.

They’ve clawed their way from pub backrooms to festival main stages. As a result, they’ve left a trail of slack-jawed audiences in their wake. Their journey has been nothing short of explosive, fueled by their reputation for chaotic bangers and high-energy live shows.

Out now, WOOF isn’t just an album. Rather, it’s a manifesto, a primal scream, a middle finger to musical conventions – a genre-defying masterpiece.

Despite the pressure, the band remains remarkably laid-back. Chris Hughes, the keyboardist, quips, “I’ve been getting way too hungover to have emotions about this album anymore. This is my tactic to deal with the stress.” Clearly, this carefree spirit infuses their music with irresistible energy.

WOOF is a rollercoaster ride through the twisted landscape of Fat Dog’s collective psyche. Co-produced by James Ford, known for his work with Arctic Monkeys and Fontaines DC, the album seamlessly blends elements of klezmer, gabber, industrial, and trance into a cohesive yet chaotic whole.

With WOOF now available, Fat Dog is gearing up for a whirlwind tour. They’ll be shaking stages across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia.

For fans of boundary-pushing music and electrifying live performances, Fat Dog’s WOOF is an essential addition to any playlist. Strap in, crank up the volume and prepare for sonic warfare. Fat Dog isn’t just making music, they’re starting a revolution. And trust us, you want to be on their side when the dust settles.

WOOF is out now on all platforms. Keep up with the Fat Dog here
