this dog Announces New Single + ‘World Tour*’

They’ve won a few competitions from here and Australia, opened for a few sweet international rock acts and have even moved to a different storage unit near a different sewage plant.

But after releasing their prize winning debut EP Clean Living, 2026 brings this dogs’ first tour of Aotearoa’s main centres alongside a new single Likewise, releasing February 19th.

With their 2023 single Bug Eyed charting at #20 on the official ‘Hot 20 NZ Singles’ charts; Likewise is sure to hopefully get to a crisp #19.

With lyrics about romanticizing only getting a job half done, this dog will no doubt be doing the opposite. It only takes one trip to see them live to see that they’ll leave blood, spit, sweat and some more spit on the stage in their wake.

The ‘Likewise World Tour*’ is years in the making, recorded by Ben Sinclair  & Jacob Patchett at Saltbox Studios, mixed by Jack Lanham & Kabyn Walley of Moonbase Record Collective & Mastered by Steven Marr (Doprah) . The fuzz smothered walls of guitar sound and frenetic drumming introduced in their initial EP is ever present on the new track. All presented through the same biting yet tongue and cheek lyrical lens offered by vocalist Robbie Redvers.
