Split Dogs are set to release their stomping new album, Nice ‘N’ Rough, on September 25th via Venn Records, today the band have dumped another hot, fire licked rock n’ roll boulder on the world with their new single, Suffer. Complemented by a video that channels the occult vibes of 1970s downer rock and 1980s metal, Suffer features some of the most personal lyrics singer Harry Martinez has ever written.

“It’s about carrying the weight of abuse long after it’s ended, 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.” (Harry Martinez)

Split Dogs will be heading out on a German headline tour this month which will be followed by an appearance an appearance an Rebellion Festival, a string of UK instore performances in September, and an EU tour with Danko Jones in October.
