In Episode Seven, I chat with upcoming BBC-Introducing band Year of the Dog about their highlights from 2023, the writing process behind their latest single ‘Tigers in the Living Room’, and what to expect from their upcoming album!
Year of the Dog are a six-piece brasshouse soul band from Bristol and Cardiff. The group formed at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in 2018, and they’ve been spreading their gospel of dance-inspiring tunes ever since - taking the big stages at festivals such as Kendal Calling and Cardiff Pride, among many. The band gained notoriety through featuring in season 1 of Netflix’s Sex Education, in which they debuted their suave-oozing single, Run These Streets. Most recently, the group played the Rugby World Cup final in Paris!
The band is fronted by Felix Lindsell Hales on vocals and guitar, Olly Jenkins on saxophone, Gareth Thomas on trumpet, Peter Richards on bass trombone, Jacob Prescott on bass, and James Sherwood on drums.
