"A brilliant band that is unquestionably one of the hottest prospects in Brighton, and surely destined to be signed before too long. We saw DROOKIT DOGS live recently, and they nearly lifted the roof off Polar Central with a searing set of, to use their own words, 'nu-folk meets post-punk'. And indeed, that is exactly what they do. Imagine RICHARD THOMPSON as performed by FUGAZI, or JOHN MARTYN interpreted by THE JAM at their fiercest. Rootsy vocals and melodies; savage punk guitar; a snapping, muscular rhythm section and utter commitment onstage: this is a trio that will just blow you away. Already, after less than a year in existence, DROOKIT DOGS has built a, ahem, rabid following, and it seems set to spread like wildfire. The folk roots are obvious in their songs, but they have unexpectedly found their true home in a blistering sonic setting. If this band does not make you grit your teeth and bob your head like an unhinged pigeon to their meaty chug, then you have no pulse."
