Ferocious Dog are a smart noise on the block – and are surprising everyone with their rapid ascent.
“There is no way they’re following any hipster templates – fronted by a big burly man with a mohican who sings impassioned political songs of broken Britain whilst his band seethes like a punky Levellers – they are the music business’s worst nightmare – a great band who are going to make it without anyone’s permission,” reckons John Robb.
2016 was a defining year for the band; from playing Billy Bragg’s Left Field stage at Glastonbury in front of a massive crowd, to sharing the stage with The Levellers on their sold out European and UK tour. Ferocious Dog left the audience under no doubt that they had witnessed a band that has the talent and passion to go on to dominate the folk/punk music scene.
Their third long-player, The Red Album, was released at the end of 2017 and received rave reviews.
Ferocious Dog offer a full-on six-piece sound that encompasses folk infused with rock, reggae and Celtic vibrations.
The combination of instruments creates a palette of sound that offers infinite variations: going in hard to get the audience up and moving, or slipping into melodic passages and dub-like fusions.
The songs are deeply personal and their fans can really identify with the words - as you'll hear this Friday night (October 12) when they make a welcome return to Bedford Esquires.
