Split dogs

Split dogs are a Bristol punk'n'roll band formed around vocalist Harry Atkins and guitarist Mil Martinez, with Suez Boyle and Chris Hugall helping lock the group into a raw, hard-gigging unit. The band's roots go back to a desire to strip rock music back to its basic charge: loud guitars, short songs, fast tempos, and a refusal to make the music feel polished or algorithm-friendly. Their self-titled 2024 album and 2025 follow-up Here To Destroy frame that approach clearly, delivering garage-rock attack, street-punk bluntness, and old-school rock and roll swagger in compact bursts. Split dogs' songs feel built for small rooms as much as bigger punk stages, with rasped vocals, unfussy riffs, and rhythm-section urgency carrying the point. Their sound draws from classic punk and glammy rock toughness without becoming nostalgia. It is direct, physical, and impatient, focused on live force and the communal release of a noisy room.
