Reviews:
HotPress -
“Simmering with infectious hand claps,
charging percussion and a powerful, grinding vocal
courtesy of Hugh Donlon, their toe-tapping
whiskey-swilling debut single is hugely impressive
stuff.”

"Whether you come to this EP
as a fresh faced indie kid, a seasoned summer
festival survivor or a grizzly rock veteran, there’s
something here for everybody."

“Catchy riffs, big harmonies,
key changes and hand claps! What more do you
want in a song?This is exactly what you get from
Third Smokes very cleverly written and addictive
new single “Dog Rough Dancing”. I couldn’t help
myself from hitting the play button again with its
infectious ways! It quite simply is rock n roll at its
finest.”

the potential to capture an audience and have them
singing along to every word.”
