Brighton’s vibrant punk and rock scene welcomes another fiery track from the up-and-coming City Dog. The band has released their new single ‘A Circus’ via Small Pond Records on October 5th, 2023. An exploration of societal norms, judgment, and the longing for acceptance, the song is a striking reflection of the world we live in.
Taken from the compilation album ‘Small Pond Presents: Emerging Vol. 3’, set to drop on November 24th, ‘A Circus’ isn’t just a song – it’s a statement. According to City Dog, the track delves into the traditional concept of the circus, where individuals who didn’t align with societal standards were showcased.
They address this dated notion, challenging listeners to reconsider how they view the differences of those around them. The band elaborates, “It’s a vision of a world where individual uniqueness is celebrated instead of ridiculed.”
City Dog, though relatively new, has rapidly garnered attention for their electrifying live performances, leaving audiences in awe and hungry for more.
They’ve already shared the stage with renowned bands such as The Buzzcocks, Surfbort, and The Wytches. Their music, infused with influences from iconic bands like Ty Segall, Queens of the Stone Age, and IDLES, offers a refreshing fusion of sounds from punk’s golden era to the grunge-filled 90s.
The ‘Emerging’ artist development project by Small Pond is an initiative aimed at nurturing young talents aged 16-25 in Brighton and the South of England.
The project not only provides a platform for budding artists to record and release their music but also offers invaluable industry guidance. Small Pond, a versatile music company, has been at the forefront of supporting emerging artists, with a legacy of introducing and promoting fresh talents through their compilation albums. Following the lead single ‘Fancy Word For Addiction’ by emo-hardcore trio prom, fans can anticipate more enthralling tracks in the months leading up to the album’s release.
Small Pond Presents: Emerging Vol. 3 will be available on November 24th, 2023.
