El Dog

Listen up, buddy!

About Me

“a glorious mix of Muse and Led Zepplin and Mogwai and Biffy Clyro. They may be clearly mad, rabid even, but they're also smarter than your average pooch.” Is This Music?, UK

“Four to the floor loud and chuggy, quiet and emoesque... turns old scool boy indie rock.” The Guardian, UK

“an intensely emotional performance which splices Radiohead with Smashing Pumpkins but without descending in to the overblown pomposity of Muse.” The Skinny, UK
