We do like Sheffield's You Filthy Dog and this is their third EP in recent years. The quartet describe themselves as Bubblegum Punk. They sound much more than that, more like a long lost UK New Wave band. The songs are incredibly melodic, getting very close to Power Pop at times.
These three songs are a great example of what they do. Full of hooks, big choruses and unexpected changes in direction and tempo. It is particularly thrilling to see this coming out of the UK. This type of Guitar led Pop has been longed missed here for quite some time.
Dagon begins like a wistful TV Advert theme but soon bursts into an anthem riff driven sing along joy that adds a killer Guitar solo. Glorious You opens as a Pop Rock ballad, but soon breaks into a much bigger Indie Rock affair with its slightly heavier guitar led backing.
Low Calorie Groove sounds much more 70s, slightly Glam, much more all encompassing with another killer chorus with a delicious Blue Oyster Cult like breakout riff. Finance may hold then back, but a full length release would be much appreciated. Maybe they could be the debut album on the I Don't Hear A Single label coming at the back end of the year.
You can listen to and buy the EP here.
