GUIDE DOG Drops New Steaming Single… ‘BODY SHAME (AND THE MINISTRY OF LONELINESS)

Posted on by JL

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

4 July 2019

Turn Up The Volume featured this pretty special Welsh trio led by Peter Roberts, the sharp-witted singer/songwriter before (check previous singles ‘Generation Y and Dead Beat) and here we go again as GUIDE DOG just dropped a new intriguing single from a long announced but not yet released album. Fresh cut ‘BODY SHAME (AND THE MINISTRY
OF LONELINESS)’ reads lyrically like a combination of a daydream and a nightmare and resounds exactly like it too. The first part rattles and hammers terrifically in rhythm and gives us a blazing shout along chorus…

I want to get high,
Shiny assholes in the sky,
Bang a drum ’til you get young and free,
I’d be in your army if you’d love me.

Around the 3-minute mark hell breaks loose, Tempo and temperature go up and
glorious confusion takes over until the chaotic end. Pretty mad stuff! Check it here…

Welsh Three-Piece GUIDE DOG Releases Punchy Title Track From New Album – Here’s ‘GENERATION Y’…

Posted on by JL

Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

26 February 2019

Band: GUIDE DOG

Who: The brainchild of singer/songwriter Peter Roberts

Pick: GENERATION Y – the second single and also title track from the trio’s upcoming second album. “It comes at a time when children are bunking off school to protest outside Parliament about Westminster’s flimsy and inadequate response to climate change, prompting a swift and aggressive backlash by the politicians who dismissed the adolescents and ridiculed their irresponsibility” says Roberts.

Score: Guide Dog‘s mastermind Peter Roberts says the time is appropriate to release
a protest song. It sure is. With the political Western world becoming a demagogic
monster it is indeed great to see young people hitting the streets en masse all over
Europe and raising their voice about the tremendously serious climate change issue.
And yes, ‘GENERATION Y’s overall punchy impact, blustery timbre and explosive chorus
fit today’s rebellious reality pungently well. There’s a saying ‘you’re never too young to change the world‘. This committed generation got the message…

GUIDE DOG – Experience Pounding Glam Grunge Debut Single ‘I AM THE DADDY’…

Posted on by JL

Noise that thrills us in a way we want to scream out loud…

‘I Am The Daddy’ by GUIDE DOG

Out of Cardiff three Welshmen are ready to conquer the world while barking like fierce noisemakers. Frontman, songwriter and guitarist Peter Roberts has been around making music for some time now (with People Planes, the wonderful Cold Specks and solo). At one point he quit touring to become a daddy but soon teamed up again with some old friends to start GUIDE DOG. They canned debut album ‘Lovely Domestic Bliss‘, produced by long-term collaborator Dan Austin in just three days. It will be out 7 July. But first debut single
I AM THE DADDY. A heavy grunge smack injected with a pounding glam rock chorus that will activate all nerves and muscles in your spinning head. Open windows and doors, turn it up and wake up your neighbourhood with this incendiary blow. Here’s the beast…
