Last year, rapidly rising, London-based outfit Fat Dog exploded into the British scene with the band being named “2023’s wildest live band,” by NME for a live show described as “manically riotous and joyous” by BBC 6 Music, which included opening sets for Viagra Boys, Shame, and Yard Act, as well as their own headlining sets.
Their debut single “King of the Slugs” was released by Domino Records to critical praise from the likes of Clash Magazine and countless others. Building upon a rapidly growing profile, the British quintet announced their debut US tour, which will see them play sets at SXSW, Trans-Pecos, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, as well as an April headlining set at the 1500-capacity Electric Brixton. Along with that they’re sharing the Joe Love and James Ford co-produced “All The Same,” a propulsive, club rocking, industrial-inspired banger built around glistening synth arpeggios, and orchestral sample-driven hit, industrial clang and clatter paired with skittering, tweeter and woofer rattling boom bap, enormous shout along worthy hooks and a plaintive vocal delivery.
The members of the rising British outfit says about the song “What if you could turn the clock back and make a change? Just a single, well-placed kick, that perhaps could change the whole course of your life. Perhaps the party never has to stop?”
Directed by Dylan Coates and staring Neil Bell, the accompanying visual for “All The Same” is a twisted and absurdist tale of regret, revenge, time travel and fatherhood that sees its protagonist traveling back to 1989.
A limited edition 7” of “All The Same” will be released on Fri. March 22nd backed by an exclusive B-side “Land Before Time.” Pre-order from Domino Records here.
