Your New Favourite Band!

Woody and the Dogs are a tight-knit indie-rock quartet from Edinburgh who have quickly made waves with their infectious camaraderie, engaging live performances, and upbeat approach to their genre. 

Formed in 2021 by high school best friends Brendan, Ross, and Marcus, the band drew inspiration from indie rock giants like Kings of Leon and The Strokes to create their distinctive sound. At the beginning of 2023, they found their missing piece in Jude and relocated to Edinburgh. 

The band’s name pays homage to singer Brendan’s dad’s band ‘Wooden Dog.’ Alongside funky originals, their cover of Wooden Dog’s song ‘Crazy’ is a staple of their live show, gathering friends and strangers alike for a wee boogie.  

Their debut single, ‘Nervous,’ set to be released on April 26th, 2024, by Blue Medusa Records, captures the band's signature energy and showcases Brendan's distinctive vocals and heartfelt lyrics, Jude's knack for crafting catchy guitar riffs, Ross's groove-infused basslines, and Marcus's explosive drumming. The song explores young love and the butterflies that come with it, making it an anthem for anyone who's ever felt the jitters over a crush. Brendan explained, "'Nervous' tells the story of someone stepping into a new relationship, feeling both excited and apprehensive about what the future holds."
