Dog Dribble by Getdown Services

Settled down in your corner office on a praying mantis Monday? Let Getdown Services' 'Dog Dribble' remind you how Friday night can feel on a Monday morning. The song's a gloriously unhinged anthem that barks in the face of conventional genre boundaries. It's chaotic, catchy and catastrophically clever.

Bristol-based duo Josh Law and Ben Sadler deliver a punchy blend of punk, rave and spoken-word absurdism that's both a middle finger to modernity and homage to ketchup stains on ties.

From the first distorted synth squelch, 'Dog Dribble' from the 2024 EP, Your Medal's In The Post, pulls no punches. The lyrics cascade like a rant, equal parts demented nursery rhyme and anarchic manifesto. Lines like 'I'm frothing at the mouth like a sentient kettle' stick with you because they demand to.


Musically, it's a Frankenstein's monster stitched from raw basslines, twitchy percussion and the sound of a petulant Casio keyboard having a breakdown. It works because it shouldn't. It's beauty and power lie in its refusal to be beautiful and powerful. It is quite like watching a dog chase its own tail.
