The 11-track record will be out on April 12th via Partisan Records. The band have also revealed the video for the album's lead single "Big". Pre-order your copy here.
According to a press release, Dogrel signifies “a debut which is best enjoyed as a whole; it is very much in the grand tradition of the album as art form, just as this is a band very much in the classic band mold: great singles, an indefatigable work ethic and an utter aversion to standing still.”
"Dogrel is a crude, traditionally Irish working-class form of verse, historically looked down upon by literary critics", the band explains.
Speaking about the video, they said, "we felt that great ambition was a sickness, and we got Grian's 11 year next-door neighbour to say it to you all because he's got the presence of a hundred frontmen."
