Fat Dog are back. The South London seven-piece have released their first new music of 2026, a single called “Go Fuck Urself,” co-produced by frontman Joe Love and Oli Bayston, whose credits include Kelly Lee Owens and Alexis Taylor.
The song runs three minutes. 80s synths, melodica, Balearic grooves underneath a lyric that turns the frustration inward. Love sings: “Some jokers play the same old game / No one to annoy / Find a mirror and the person to blame.” It breaks into something euphoric by the end, which is either the joke or the point, probably both.
A video directed by Nine Screens (Dylan Coates and Travis Barton) accompanies the release. The band take to a wrestling ring. The message is delivered accordingly.
“Go Fuck Urself” follows standalone singles “Pray To That” and “Peace Song,” and arrives roughly two years after their debut album WOOF., which DIY described as “brilliant, dark, and downright batshit crazy.” It’s the first indicator of where the next record might go.
Alongside the single, the band have announced a substantial UK and European tour running from now through December, with a hometown headline show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on October 24th. Before that, they’ll play three European arena dates supporting Foo Fighters, join Kneecap at Crystal Palace Park in June, and appear at End of the Road, Dour, Reeperbahn, and Bearded Theory, among others.
