The wait is over, folks! South London's finest export, Fat Dog, are unleashing their sophomore album 'Cancel Me (I'm Tired)' on 2nd October, and we can barely contain our excitement. This game-changing release follows hot on the heels of their critically acclaimed debut 'WOOF.' and a string of scorching singles that left fans panting for more.
Lead track 'Cancel Me (I'm Tired)', a genre-bending masterpiece that blends John Lennon's acerbic wit with Altın Gün's psychedelic rock, sets the tone for an album that's equal parts defiant and introspective. The lyrics are a clarion call to arms: "If you wanna cancel me/Then go ahead and do it please," a bold riposte to the pressures of modern life. Meanwhile, the music video, directed by James Winstanley, is a riotous romp through London's Soho district as the band dodges 'cancellation' with style.
Frontman Joe Love's songwriting has taken on a new level of maturity since his return from a US tour last year, where he also tied the knot in Las Vegas. This time around, he approached the album with a clear vision for its themes – addiction, family ties, love, AI, ancestry, and even some pop culture references that will leave you grinning from ear to ear (yes, Chris Tarrant makes an appearance!).
But before 'Cancel Me (I'm Tired)' hits shelves, Fat Dog are hitting the road for a series of in-store performances, where entry is guaranteed by pre-ordering the album. They'll also be tearing up festival stages throughout the summer, including Deershed and End of the Road Festival – don't miss your chance to witness their live show.
And then comes the main event: Fat Dog's extensive UK and European headline tour in October and November. You can catch them at O2 Academy Brixton, Victoria Warehouse, Depot, O2 Academy Bristol, O2 Institute Birmingham, and O2 Academy Leeds – it's your chance to experience their new material live and in all its glory.
The full track list for 'Cancel Me (I'm Tired)' reads like a who's who of musical mischief: 'Smile and Wave', 'Go Fuck Urself', 'Cancel Me (I'm Tired)', 'Heart Of Darkness', 'Shit Love', 'Call It What You Want', 'Snakes', 'Bad Dog', 'The Devil', and 'Aliens' – get ready to lose yourself in the mayhem.
