Fat Dog have announced news of their second album, Cancel Me (I’m Tired), alongside the release of its title track.
The title track was inspired by John Lennon’s ‘How Do You Sleep’ combined with frontman/songwriter Joe Love imagining what Anatolian rock experimentalists Altın Gün would sound like if they were under siege from a thumping club beat. The title track begins with a riotous declaration. “If you wanna cancel me/Then go ahead and do it please,” It’s the sound of what happens when people push your buttons and your buttons start pushing back. ‘Cancel Me (I’m Tired)’ follows the release of propulsive, jubilant electro-pop single ‘Go F**k Urself’ in May.
Due out on October 2, 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.

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.
Fat Dog recently joined Foo Fighters on a run of stadium shows and ahead of their headline UK & European tour starting late October, they have announced an instore tour.
