Ferocious Dog are a full-on six-piece sound that encompasses folk infused with rock, reggae and Celtic vibrations. The combination of instruments creates a palette of sound that offers infinite variations: going in hard to get people up and moving, or slipping into melodic passages and dub-like fusions.

For many years Ferocious Dog have appeared at small venues and pubs, until in 2009 where the band were given the opportunity to play at Bearded Theory Festival, they went down a storm, were asked to return the following years and ultimately playing the main stage in 2012 where their popularity grew tenfold. After this opportunity, gig and festival offers from all over the county starting coming in thick and fast, and on the back an eponymous album, Ferocious Dog are playing and headlining festivals across the country.

They are supported in their first trip to Scotland by Losing Ground and Start Static.

Losing Ground are a progressive punk band that strays into folk, melodic hardcore and spoken word.

In February 2015 the Start Static released their debut album ?Arguments? which charted on iTunes alternative charts and has been well received by national and international press alike resulting in a national tour, headline show at King Tut?s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow as well as TV performances on STV and inclusion in Kerrang! Fresh Blood and the Top 50 Scottish Albums of 2015.
