Future Yard presents Dog Race

Bloom

We’re hyped to play host to gothic post-punk five piece Dog Race in February, one of the hottest properties in UK music right now.

Their music evokes an icy, operatic fever dream that weaves dark cultish imagery and haunting baroque choral chants. Already Dog Race have invited intrigue around their name on the live circuit after thrilling performances of foreboding and mystique.
