Annie-Dog

Annie-Dog embraces a wholly DIY ethos, influenced by a plethora of fellow idiosyncratic artists including Alex G, Dean Blunt and Imogen Heap, self-producing all her material and crafting bittersweet shapeshifting pop tracks that occupy a mesmerising world somewhere between Grimes and PinkPantheress.

Debut single 'The Pressures of the Heart' was released via UK indie label Dance to the Radio to significant acclaim. The track was supported by Spotify on several editorial playlists including New Music Friday UK & Sweden, Our Generation, Melomania, A Breath of Fresh Eire and Alternative Ireland. The track received radio support from the likes of BBC6, RTE2FM ('Track of the Week'), BBC Introducing and SiriusXM, as well as ample press support. Release day of her debut single also saw Smashing Pumpkins share the track to their 1 Million followers and lead singer Billy Corgan reach out directly to congratulate her on the track and share on his socials. (She is sitting down to record a podcast episode with him in the near future). Her following two EPs received similar support from streaming platforms and radio, and press (features, write-ups and reviews) from the likes of Dork, DIY Magazine, RTE.ie, Golden Plec, So Young, Wonderland Magazine, Hot Press, Nialler9, Fader, Clash Magazine, The Line of Best Fit, etc.

In 2024, Annie-Dog was selected to take part in Irish Music Week, playing a show in The Button Factory. 2024 also saw her take part in festivals such as The Alternative Escape (Brighton), Neighbourhood Festival (Manchester), We've Only Just Begun festival in Dublin, and Pitchfork Music Festival London. Annie-Dog was nominated RTE2FM rising star 2025. That same year she played various shows including Pitchfork Music Festival Paris, Forbidden Fruit, Beyond the Pale, Other Voices Dingle and Cardigan, Live at Leeds, SXSW Austin, and more. Her debut headline in Whelan's (January 2026) sold out.

Annie-Dog made her debut TV appearance in March this year with Other Voices Dingle on RTÉ2 alongside Chalk, Miles Kane, and Travvy, where she performed two tracks and sat for an interview with host May Kay. Her next performances will be at this year's Great Escape festival in Brighton, as well as a show in Brussels for Europa Day. It is clear Annie-Dog is an artist who continues to grow and evolve.

She is currently working on new music which is set to be released later on this year.
