Fat Dog

South London-based electro-punk band Fat Dog mix techno, rock, and rave in an effort to capture the spirit of chaotic times, believing that it's better not to think too much and just enjoy the moment. Formed in South London by Joe Love as a reaction to the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020, he started out making electronic music in his bedroom, eventually assembling a band to adapt it for instruments. Before they had even released anything, they gained a reputation for their boisterous live shows, preferring to rely on word of mouth rather than social media, which aided their reputation and helped form a community. With hype building up around them, Fat Dog signed to Domino Records in 2023, despite not having any music available to the public. This changed later that same year, when they released the single "King of the Slugs." They issued their debut album, WOOF., in 2024.
