“A love letter to our families.” SPLIT DOGS release ‘Lafayette’

BRISTOL’s rising stars and high-octane boogie woogie punk rock ‘n rollers SPLIT DOGS, gear up for their first UK headline tour by releasing the single ‘Lafayette,’ and announcing new album ‘Here to Destroy’ will be available from Feb 28 – via Venn Records.

“The track is a love letter to our families and the influence they’ve had on our love for music,” explains guitarist, Mil Martinez.

“At a glance it tells the story of [singer] Harry Atkins mother growing up in Wolverhampton during the height of the 1970s/80s northern soul scene and the characters she encountered. It also tips a hat to my older brother that passed away in 2023. He played a major role in my song writing growing up. It takes you on a journey through the cobbled streets and back bars of the Black Country, Harry’s hometown Wolverhampton. From chewing gum-stained carpets and pints of mild to stone faced locals and tar-stained fingertips.”

Joining Martinez and Atkins in the band are Chris Hugall (drums), and Suez Boyle (bass).

Here to Destroy’ was recorded over three days at Middle Farm Studios, produced by Peter Miles.
