Bristol’s Split Dogs just dropped ‘Precious Stones’ – taken from forthcoming album Here To Destroy, due for release in February via Venn Records.
“The song shines a spotlight on the people that imply false authority in society based on their job title or financial position. From the obvious traffic wardens all the way up to entitled yoga instructors, nothing burns worse than being falsely reprimanded by another adult so they can attempt to assume dominance over you.”
‘Precious Stones’ is an unashamedly rocknroll short sharp slap in the face. Much of its intensity comes from Harry Atkins’ vocals. As the song builds you can feel all of their vitriol and venom.
It’s also evident in the video: Harry corners you, face to face. You can’t escape their frustration; every eye roll and grimace simmers with it.
Although ‘Precious Stones’ is about false authority, it’s a great song to soundtrack any frustration, or anger or election result you don’t like.
