Fat Dog have shared their brash new single ‘Peace Song’ and shared details of a 2025 UK tour.
The synth-heavy track features an ’80s flare with a children’s choir providing layers and backing vocals to the chorus of “I’m in love with the world”. Directed by James Ogram, the track’s accompanying video sees an alien bartender at a pub save the world from the big dog in the sky who has landed on Earth to destroy it.
‘Peace Song’ marks Fat Dog’s first new track since the release of their debut album ‘Woof.‘ back in September. In a five-star review of the LP, NME shared: “It’s clear from the get-go that this is not a band who take themselves seriously – you needn’t look further than drummer Johnny ‘Doghead’ Hutchinson’s ever-present latex dog mask.
“But crucially, they’ve committed to the bit, and it makes the intricate and occasionally miserable post-punk that’s inundated the UK recently seem like a bore in comparison. Scream the words and dive head-first into the Fat Dog experience, because ‘Woof.’ is pure, unbridled escapism – just what the world needs right now.”

Previously speaking to NME as part of The Cover, keyboardist Chris Hughes explained: “What we’ve got as a band is special. I hear things from my friends who are in other groups, and there just seems to be constant animosity elsewhere.
“We get these moments where everything lines up: sometimes, we all look at each other on stage, and quietly recognise that we’re playing a really good gig. It’s an amazing feeling.”
