The cigar box guitar takes centre stage, delivering a sound that’s equal parts raucous and soulful, evoking the dusty roads and smoky bars where blues was born. Lyrically, the song is an unfiltered celebration of blue-collar resilience, weaving a tale of simplistic, unrefined Aussie culture blended with a liking for some of the more sophisticated things in life, in an unapologetic pride in one’s roots.

Single Brothers Glee is a stirring, heartfelt anthem inspired by the rich tradition of Irish folk music, celebrating the unshakable bond of chosen family. With melodies that echo the rolling hills of the Emerald Isle and lyrics that speak to loyalty, resilience, and love, this song is a tribute to those who stand by us—not always by blood, but by choice. It reminds us that the strength of family lies not in shared names, but in shared hearts, and that sometimes, the fiercest support comes from the ones we find along the way. Single Brothers Glee is more than a song—it's a rallying cry for brotherhood, belonging, and the beauty of unwavering support.

Howlin' Good Times - Album Release 

BARREL DAWG UNLEASHES ‘HOWLIN’ GOOD TIMES’ – A RAW, BLUES-INFUSED TALES FROM THEM THAR HILLS!

This April – Gritty, swampy, and dripping with whiskey-soaked swagger, Barrel Dawg is set to release their highly anticipated new album, Howlin’ Good Times. This unique 12 Track record is a thunderous blend of blues, roots, country, and backwoods mountain music, calling to mind the smoky storytelling of Tom Waits, the brooding intensity and darkness of Nick Cave, and the raw power of Chrissie Amphlett.

Bringing together a powerhouse of growling vocals, foot-stomping rhythms, and haunting melodies, Howlin’ Good Times is an album that doesn’t just ask to be heard—it demands it. With songs that weave tales of family, mental health, redemption, and the dark corners of the human experience, Barrel Dawg delivers a sonic experience that grips the soul and doesn’t let go.

“This album is like the ying and yang, it takes the listener on a journey of both dark and light!” says Mongrel Dawg [Bass Player.]. “We wanted to capture raw, unpredictable straight up storytelling like the old school bluesmen with our own signature style —something that feels alive, a little dark and wild, but at times also energetic and uplifting.  Like wild dog that could break free from restraints at any moment and lick your face off!”

SINGLES FROM THE ALBUM:

  • “Middle Class Bogan” – This track is a bold, foot-stomping anthem that channels the heart and soul of working-class grit, backed by the unmistakable growl of a cigar box guitar.
  • “Brothers Glee” – A high energy jig about the wonderous benefits of the support of family/friends. 
  • “Transporter” – A driving ballad soaked in bluesy riffs and a sinners’ confession.
  • “Johnny and His Monster Truck” – A feverish, boot-stomping anthem made for late night drinking, sing-alongs and a bit of shenanigans.
  • “My Kingdom” – Dark, brooding, and poetic, channelling swampy sinister storytelling .
  • “Dragging You Down” – A high-octane blend of blues and outlaw rock that sticks in your head.
  • “Weird Things” - A Powerful Anthem for Mental Health Awareness (Top 10 Charts for Underground Music and Top 50 Charts for All Genres – Glacer FM. Glacer FM is the The #1 Global Internet Radio Station focusing on Unsigned and Independent Music in all genres.

Recorded in a rustic cabin studio deep in the heart of Beechwood (Port Macquarie) and at dawg kennel at Doctors Gap (Lithgow) Howlin’ Good Times pulses with the grit and authenticity of its surroundings. Barrel Dawg leans into their love for vintage tones, raw production, and a sound that feels as though it’s been passed down through generations of rebel souls and ramblers.

The album drops this April with a launch tour set to follow, hitting honky-tonks, juke joints, breweries, pubs and bars across NSW.
