SOUTHDOGROCK Returns with a Bold New Track.

Schliengen, Germany – After captivating listeners with their debut Blues Rock album Old and Tired Dog in 2021, SOUTHDOGROCK is back with a fresh new sound that’s bound to make waves in the music scene.

Their latest release, Ugly Brothers, is a dynamic track that showcases the band’s evolving style, adding more spice to their already solid foundation in the Blues Rock genre.

The track kicks off with an irresistible groove, pulling listeners into the deep Mississippi Delta blues vibe right from the first note. As the song progresses, it transforms into an energetic mix of Blues Rock and Funky Rock, blending soulful melodies with punchy rhythms that get under your skin and invite you to tap your feet.

It’s a groove that feels both timeless and fresh, as though you’re hearing something new while being comforted by the familiar sound of a genre that’s been part of musical history for generations.

One of the key strengths of Ugly Brothers is its storytelling. The song delves into the emotional terrain of lifelong friendship, where superficial aspects like looks, money, or size mean nothing. What matters in this bond is the truth, loyalty, and the heart that’s behind it.

The song’s narrative taps into something universally relatable—how the connections we build with others are often deeper than what meets the eye. Whether you’re the "ugly brother" or not, the core message is clear: authenticity and kindness are what truly define meaningful relationships.

The track is as much about the music as it is about the message. From the tight-knit rhythm section to the emotionally charged vocals, SOUTHDOGROCK’s musical prowess shines through.

• Florian Döppert, the band’s vocalist and lyricist, brings his unmistakable voice to the forefront, delivering the song’s lyrics with raw emotion and intensity. His addition of the blues harp enriches the song’s signature sound, adding a layer of authenticity to the bluesy atmosphere.

• Salva Balbo’s guitar work on Ugly Brothers is equally impressive, seamlessly weaving through the song with both technical skill and emotional depth. The guitar solos are a standout, offering moments of fiery intensity and introspection, perfectly complementing the song’s themes of camaraderie and resilience.

• Frank Heider on bass and Martin Hugenschmidt on drums provide a rock-solid foundation, their rhythms locking into place with infectious energy that drives the song forward.

• Meanwhile, Frank Schultz’s keyboards and programming add a vibrant layer of complexity, blending classic Blues Rock with a touch of modern Funk, creating a sound that is uniquely SOUTHDOGROCK.

The production quality of Ugly Brothers is another highlight, thanks to the expertise of Frank Schultz, who not only produced and recorded the track but also mastered it at PRO TON Studios.

The result is a polished yet raw sound that preserves the essence of the blues while giving it a contemporary twist. The track’s accompanying video, directed by Nico Frye, brings the song’s themes to life visually, capturing the spirit of the song through compelling imagery that complements the track’s message.

Since its release, Ugly Brothers has already made its way onto all major streaming platforms and YouTube, allowing fans old and new to experience the latest evolution of SOUTHDOGROCK’s signature sound. It’s a song that invites listeners to reflect on the importance of genuine relationships while simultaneously celebrating the beauty of the music itself.
