SPLIT DOGS have dropped another new track from their forthcoming third album.
'Suffer' is drawn from Nice N' Rough which is out through Venn Records in September.
“It’s about carrying the weight of abuse long after it’s ended,” explains singer Harry of the track. “The song deals with the struggle of letting the past dictate your happiness, but ultimately it’s about taking your power back, knowing your worth, and moving forward.
“For the video, we knew we wanted it to have that classic heavy metal video nasty feel, so we grabbed a green screen and a smoke machine and experimented with some moody lighting and it came together really organically.
“Maciek Mastalerz came down to capture behind-the-scenes photos, as well as shooting some additional footage with us in the graveyard. Jess Rushby stepped in as our video vixen, when we told her we wanted a ‘Warriors of Genghis Khan’ by Bad News vibe, she absolutely understood the assignment. She also styled Harry for the shoot alongside the incredibly talented Issy Jones who handcrafts chainmail. We featured several of her pieces throughout the video to create that the world we wanted."
As previously announced, the band's new album was recorded at the Station House studio in Leeds with with Canadian punks Fucked Up's drummer Jonah Falco (High Vis, Rifle) producing and James Atkinson - formerly of Durham hardcore legends Voorhees - on engineering duties. Those who've had a sneak peek suggest nods to Motorhead, The Stooges, The Plasmatics and New York Dolls.
Set for release on 25th September, you can pre-order Nice N' Rough here.
Until then they've got a lot of touring to do. Full dates are...
