Fat Dog unveils their vibrant new single titled ‘All the Same’ and announces upcoming concert dates across the United States. This release becomes the group’s second track under the renowned Domino label. Produced in collaboration with James Ford (known for his work with Arctic Monkeys, Geese, Shame, and Blur) alongside the band’s lead singer, Joe Love, ‘All the Same’ encapsulates a nostalgic rhythm reminiscent of classic video games from the 80s and 90s. This song succeeds their 2023 hit, ‘King of the Slugs’.
In a recent statement, the ensemble shared insights about the song’s inspiration, stating, “Imagine rewinding time with a single action, potentially altering your entire destiny. Maybe the festivities could endure indefinitely.” The track’s official music video, helmed by Dylan Coates and starring Neil Bell (recognized for roles in Dead Man’s Shoes, Dune, and Peterloo), unfolds as a “captivating, eccentric narrative centered on time manipulation and paternal bonds.” Scheduled for release on March 22, a special limited edition 7” vinyl of ‘All the Same’ will hit the shelves, accompanied by an exclusive track, ‘Land Before Time’. Enthusiasts can secure their copies by pre-ordering here.
Excitingly, Fat Dog will grace North American stages for the first time, with performances slated for New York City and Los Angeles. Additionally, they’re gearing up for an appearance at this year’s SXSW festival. Ensuring a memorable homecoming, the band is also scheduled to play at London’s renowned Electric Ballroom.

Highlighting their previous accomplishments, Fat Dog’s ‘King of Slugs’ secured the 33rd position on NME’s esteemed list of the “50 Best Songs of 2023.”
NME’s review of the band’s Manchester concert eloquently captures their essence: “As the fervent notes of ‘I Am the King’ echo, with Love passionately reiterating the track’s title, spectators sense the rise of 2023’s most exhilarating live ensemble.”
