album. The new album will be titled “Survival Of The Hip ‘est” & will feature 12 tracks. It should hopefully be released in October on Do The Dog Music.
In addition to the release of the band’s brand new CD, Do The Dog Music also hope to put out a Smoke Like A Fish early years CD. The disc will include remixed
tracks from the band’s never released debut album, “The Great White Trombone Hunter”, plus other demo & rare SLAF tunes. The working title for this release is
“Here’s One We Made Earlier”.
After a number of recent line up changes, Norfolk’s finest export Rebelation returned to gigging in June with shows in Bourne & Boston. Both July & August will see the band play summer festival dates in Belgium, while they also plan to tour across the UK in September (with US band Skanic) & Holland in October.
Do The Dog Music will hopefully be re-releasing Rebelation‘s debut CD “Steppas” & “Hey Where Is Your Soul” EP on one CD in the not too distant future and the band also hope to get in the studio to start working on a new album over the course of this summer. Rebelation also have a website up & running, check it out at www.rebelation.co.uk
Former members of The Honeyshop Screamers and current members of Victor FME have formed a new dub reggae side project outfit called The Home Town Rockers. Home Town Rockers have been playing a few shows around the North West in recent months & look set to release their debut CD mini album later in the year on Do The Dog Music.
Also due out later in the year on Do The Dog Music is the debut album by The Catch It Kebabs. This band has been making waves on the Yorkshire ska scene for
several months now with their hyper active live performances. Their sound wraps jazz, punk and rock influences around a super infectious 2 tone ska base.
