Dog Race - Return The Day

The second in our Early Doors series is Return The Day, the debut EP from London’s gothic five-piece, Dog Race. A release that drags you deep into the fog of burnout, codependency, and emotional stasis.

Independent record shops have played a huge role in supporting artists like us, and it’s been amazing to see physical media thrive again. Seeing Makeshift Art Bar in Dublin completely blew us away, so we’re proud to be following in their footsteps as part of the ‘Early Doors’ series.
— Dog Race
 

When a striking visual aesthetic and a striking sonic aesthetic coalesce this impressively, we couldn't help but sit up and take notice of Dog Race. Having played the early singles a lot, seeing the band at The Great Escape 2025 was an absolute priority. It was apparent from the second they opened, that their live set would match the intense allure of their recorded work. YES!!
