Influenced by The Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse and an inability to sing without a Kiwi accent, 'this dog' has become a stalwart of the Ōtautahi underground scene since forming in Jan. 2021. Writing grunge/midwestern emo rock in a shed next to their local sewage plant is as glamourous as it gets for the five longtime friends. With their latest single 'Bug Eyed' charting at #20 on the official 'Hot 20 NZ Singles' charts; their unnamed project slated for release 2025 is sure to hopefully get them to at least a crisp #19.
