Showcase: FRENCH DOGS (UK / Indie_Rock) @ Balades Sonores

French Dogs are a high-velocity fixture of the London indie scene, delivering sharp, guitar-driven dispatches from the « frazzled mornings » of modern life.
Blending visceral energy with raw storytelling, the band has earned a reputation for chaotic live shows and a restless, upbeat sound.

Following a breakout debut EP that secured key support from Radio X (John Kennedy) and BBC Introducing (Jess Iszatt), the band have refined their sound into something as danceable as it is urgent. 2026 kicked off with the frantic new single “Tucker’s Having a Baby” the first taste of their highly anticipated debut album arriving this May.

With an official Record Store Day 12inch vinyl dropping on April 18th and a tour schedule spanning the UK, France, and The Netherlands, French Dogs are cementing their place as one of the most vital voices in the underground landscape.
