Ferocious Dog are a folk-punk/ska band from Warsop, Nottinghamshire. Although active since the late 1980s, the band has become more noted since 2011, with national tours of the UK, Europe and even an appearance in Dubai,^[1] festivals such as Bearded Theory, Alchemy, Deerstock and Beautiful Days,^[2] and support slots for tours by Levellers and The Wonder Stuff.^[3]

The band released a number of EPs before a first full-length album on Weird Sounds in 2013, described by Louder Than War as "startlingly good, and so it should be, it’s been many years in the making".^[4] The album has been reviewed positively in both folk^[5][6] and metal^[1] sources.

On 11 February 2015 Ferocious Dog announced that they would be releasing a second album, although as of this date the title and its release date had not been divulged.^[7]

The band will be playing the iconic Bodega in Nottingham on 6 March 2015 to launch their highly anticipated second album. This gig sold out in just 22 minutes!

The UK tour for 2015 concludes with a homecoming gig in the main room at legendary Nottingham venue Rock City, supported by Gaz Brookfield and Mad Dog Mcrae.
