“Chipping away at their rough edges, [Peace Song] is a kind of extra-dimensional pop song, one that resonates around the lyric: “I’m in love with the world…” Clash
“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. Unserious, unhinged and sensational” NME 5*
“‘WOOF.’ is the end to any conversation that originality in music is dead” DIY 5*
““They make a fantastic, fast-paced, genre-mashing racket. Catch them while you can” The Times 5*
“Fantastic debut album WOOF is a thrilling boshing together of off-its-nut rave bombast, a futuristic take on the KLF, the horny doof of Nitzer Ebb and much else besides” The Quietus
“WOOF. has to be one of the weirdest debut albums of the year” Uncut 8/10
“The UK’s hottest new synthpunk band’s debut album will make you believe the hype” Brooklyn Vegan
“A party for the end of the world that is – an exhilarating release of urban urgencies realized through some of the nuttiest dance or punk music heard in 2024” The Line of Best Fit 8/10
“WOOF.‘s success lies in translating their rambunctious stage presence into something equally exhilarating” The Fader
“Its seven-minute centrepiece, KOTS, rollercoasters through Dies Irae choral menace, Bollywood strings and Hans Zimmer high-tensile blockbuster scoring, while Love growls threateningly” Mojo
Today, Fat Dog are pleased to share a new remix of “Peace Song” by TowerBlock1 aka Jimmy Cauty (The KLF and The Orb). Pulling out threads from the original including Joe Love’s refrain “When the war is over”, the children’s choir and isolated dog barks, TowerBlock1 twists them all into something more ominous and anarchic. Nodding to rave culture, Cauty adds a jungle beat, police sirens before concluding with an Elvis-referencing sample.

The video – directed and animated by Evan Lawday with 3-D modelling by Luka Davlianidze – sees characters from the original “Peace Song” video return for some breakdancing and the running man in the streets of South East London.
