Rock\u2019n\u2019roll revivalists Split Dogs are doing things the old way and the best way. This is not a band content to sit behind laptop screens, fifteen second viral videos or digital marketing campaigns to spread their noise. No, Split Dogs are true road warriors, almost physically incapable of turning down a gig, they\u2019ve spent the last few months playing every conceivable stage, space and venue to spread the word as they approach the release of their second album \u2018Here To Destroy\u2019, due for release February 28th<\/sup> via Venn Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s working. The reputation for their own firebrand of frenzied, high-voltage rock \u2018n\u2019 roll is spreading fast and wide throughout the punk rock community and beyond and Split Dogs gigs are fast becoming eagerly anticipated events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the band follow previous singles \u2018And What?\u2019 and \u2018Monster Truck\u2019 with a brand new two-minute killer titled \u2018Precious Stones.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe song shines a spotlight on the people that imply false authority in society based on their job title or financial position,\u201d explains guitarist Mil Martinez. \u201cFrom the obvious traffic wardens all the way up to entitled yoga instructors, nothing burns worse than being falsely reprimanded by another adult so they can attempt to assume dominance over you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musically \u2018Precious Stones\u2019 drives along at a storming rate, building in power as it progresses, with singer Harry Atkins the architect of the intensity. The accompanying video conveys just that. Focused solely on Harry\u2019s face, it\u2019s an unflinching, uncompromising experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe precious stones video was all about intensity, and hard intent,\u201d continues Mil. \u201cThere\u2019s no escape, feeling like it\u2019s just you in the room and Harry has you cornered. Relentlessly demanding that you answer the question \u2018why does it burn?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
