Fat Dog release the seething, 'Call It What You Want', a thrilling whirlwind of post-punk fury and rave-y synths.
Crowned Hottest Record on Radio 1, it’s the fourth single to be taken from their upcoming second album, Cancel Me (I’m Tired), out October 2 via Domino. Talking about ‘Call It What You Want’, frontman Joe Love says: “That’s me looking at people in my family and their problems and thinking, ‘Is it gonna be the same for me? Is it in my DNA?’”
Alongside the new single, the band have confirmed their first ever tour in Australia plus further outstores in November and later this month will bring their thrilling live show to Radio 1’s New Music Live: Cardiff.

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.
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.
