Bristol’s Grandmas House return with new single ‘DOG’, their first release of 2026, and it’s a punchy, personal one, with teeth.
The band wrote ‘DOG’ during a period of chronic illness, and that frustration runs right through it. As they put it,
“‘DOG’ is about a feeling, written whilst struggling with a chronic illness that no professional could explain…We all have something that burdens us…It’s always there, waiting around the corner.”
There’s a bit more going on sonically too – those layered vocals and sharper shifts giving it extra shape without losing the directness.
They’re taking it straight out on a European tour this month, with a London headline show at The Grace in May and festival slots at Dot To Dot, Bearded Theory and 2000 Trees lined up.
Eagle-eyed viewers will spot a mysterious phone number present at the end of the ‘DOG’ music video (07347578735) alongside a flyer informing them they’re a winner and to call in now. What this means is anyone’s guess. There’s only one way to find out…
