Fat Dog are cooking with gas. Today, they release "Shit Love", the third storming single from their forthcoming second album Cancel Me (I'm Tired) – due October 2nd via Domino.

"Shit Love" is all stabbing synths, manic vocals and a beat that sounds like a rollercoaster trying to shake itself off the tracks. It is about "two fucking insane people who argue constantly and they are world-enders every time" says frontman Joe Love.

With Cancel Me (I'm Tired), Fat Dog have created an exhilarating, swaggering, panoramic, inventive, re-inventive, re-re-inventive electro-punk-art-pop-rock'n'roll-space-country triumph that deserves all the adjectives. Over ten mind-bending and melodic tracks, it blends electro-pop anthems, cascading rave bangers, bombastic strings, cowboy-tinged pitstops and swirling psychedelia.

Fat Dog's request to be cancelled isn't going well – Radio 1, 6 Music, Absolute Radio, Radio X, Virgin Radio and Kerrang Radio have all playlisted them and the band have added new live dates including Brighton's Mutations Festival and further instores.

After releasing their debut album WOOF. in 2024 and becoming one of the UK's most exciting breakthrough bands in the process, South London seven-piece Fat Dog have a good reason to be tired. They've spent the period since WOOF.'s release spreading their raucous, infectious and irresistible bark around the world. The reason that they want you to cancel them is that they've been around the world and they're tired.

But if Fat Dog are tired with the world, the world is not tired of them. In fact, the world can't get enough of them. Wherever they went on the tour to support WOOF., new diehards emerged out of the carnage. "Show of the weekend," raved The Times after they played four shows in 27 hours at Glastonbury last year. "Unserious, unhinged and sensational," marvelled NME. Their message spread far and wide.

When it was time to think about album 2, the band's ringleader threw himself into recording sessions a day after landing home from a chaotic US tour in which each member of the band took turns in unravelling. "At some point on that tour, everyone had a small breakdown of some sort," says Chris, who remembers losing his mind in LA, bashing his head against a wall whilst wearing an American Football helmet.

It wasn't all nervous meltdowns. Romance was also in the air and, midway through the trek, Fat Dog's frontman got married in Vegas after proposing to his girlfriend in San Francisco. "We played a gig to two people in Vegas," Joe recalls, "and then the next day I got married."

And so, it was with depressed Elvis ringing in his ears that Joe got home and began work on the second Fat Dog album. On their debut, Love had left the lyrics until last, letting the heady momentum of the music lead the way, but this time he felt he had much more to say. Into its lyrical orbit, the record pulls mentions of addiction, family ties, love, AI, ancestry, extra-terrestrials, Chris Tarrant, S&M, B&M, H&M and M&Ms. Cancel Me (I'm Tired) possesses all the rabid frenzy and electrifying excitement of their debut but now delivered on a grand and glorious scale. Big, big things are ahead. Fat Dog are only just getting going.

Fat Dog are Joe Love, Chris Hughes, Morgan Wallace, Ellis Dickson, Michael Dunlop, Dillon Harrison and Jed Bevington.
