News: Ferocious Dog Announce Their Biggest Tour To Date
on October 30th, 2017 at 20:28including dates at the 1865 in Southampton and the Electric Palace in Bridport
Ferocious Dog’s 3rd studio album, The Red Album, is released on 10th November 2017 and is already receiving rave reviews. The Enemy Within tour will feature tunes from this album as well as old favourites from previous releases.
2016 was a defining year for Ferocious Dog. From playing Billy Bragg’s Left Field stage at Glastonbury in front of a massive crowd, to sharing the stage with The Levellers on their sold out European and UK tour in November and December and many sold out shows in-between. Ferocious Dog left the audience under no doubt that they had witnessed a band that has the talent and passion to go on to dominate the folk/punk music scene. With European and UK tours completed, and slots at some of the UKís and European favourite festivals, 2017 has been another exciting year so far in the ascent of this exceptional band.
Ferocious Dog offers a full-on six-piece sound that encompasses folk infused with rock, reggae and Celtic vibrations. The combination of instruments creates a palette of sound that offers infinite variations: going in hard to get the audience up and moving, or slipping into melodic passages and dub-like fusions.
Dan Booth, on fiddle, and John Leonard, playing just about everything with strings, bring a huge amount of intricacy to the breakneck pace of their songs. Les Carter (ex Carter USM) on guitar and the rhythm section of Alex Smith and John Alexander hold things together brilliantly, and with Ken Bonsallís lyrics and sheer likability, you have a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
