“There’s a celebratory barrel full of crowd singalongs from their impressive, furious and thoughtful Celtic folk-punk cannon” – Vive Le Rock
Ferocious Dog paved the way for what is possible by selling out the iconic 2000 capacity Rock City venue in Nottingham. After a phenomenal live set at Beautiful Days festival Ferocious Dog signed to Graphite Records in 2021. Later that year released their critically acclaimed album The Hope. The album reached 31 in the official album charts topped the UK folk charts at number 1, due to an unfortunate delay with vinyl pressing the band were robbed of a place in the top 20.
Ferocious Dog are the UK’s number one Folk/Punk band and as such have amassed over nine thousand sales of The Hope album. Several recent headline shows include O2 Academy, Leeds, The Barbican, York and three nights at The Victoria Hall, Settle. They have become a fan-favorite at a wide variety of festivals such as; Bloodstock, Glastonbury, Bearded Theory, Hellfest and Rebellion Festival.
Kleptocracy will be their sophomore album on Graphite Records and promises to be bigger and bolder than any previous entry in their catalogue. Kleptocracy has multiple themes, whilst it does lean into antidisestablishmentarianism heavily, it also intertwines a duality of grief and hope. Such a powerful yet provocative message is conveyed by Ferocious Dog that you will struggle to come away feeling anything less than inspired.
