“Superior Americana…joyous stuff”
Hot Press, Ireland

The band takes its name from the maintenance teams working the subway tracks in New York City. These teams have to look out for each other and are a closely-knit group much like the band of four ex-pats living in Spain who came together in 2006 to make their unique brand of acoustic music.

Eschewing the typical band line-up they have opted for Cajón (flamenco box drum) instead of drums and trumpet in place of electric guitar. Four-part harmonies steal the show.

“Sumptuous harmonies and toe-tapping rhythm…”
Hot Press

As per custom, Track Dogs are not resting on their laurels. The Irish, English, American quartet from Madrid have blasted past the pandemic lull - instruments a-blazing. “Blind Summits & Hidden Dips“ is Track Dogs’ third album in 18 months. The 2022 album “Where
to Now?“ was followed by the collaboration with Show Of Hands, a Top 20 Folk Charts double album, Dog Show Sessions (Live), which culminated in an April 2023 performance at the Royal Albert Hall.

“This band turned out to be a total discovery, with vocal harmonies on a par with groups like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, America or the most melodic style of, for example, the Eagles mixed in with the graceful irreverence of The Pogues.”
Renacer Eléctrico Music Magazine, Spain

After the more inward-looking sound of Where to Now? Track Dogs wanted to capture something that lives up to the energy and vibrancy of their live shows. This goal was approached by recording in as little time as possible - in (up to) 11 recording sessions. The rest is down to the music. As folks familiar with the band will know, Track Dogs have always dabbled in different styles, and they´re not holding back
much on this one. Showing their not-so-dead man’s hand to be a full house of Americana Music, bluegrass, latino, folk, and even blues. Track Dogs demonstrate that they really play their own genre. What sort of music do Track Dogs play?

The answer is Track Dogs Music.

“Track Dogs’ music is a mix of various styles, from folk to pop/rock, bluegrass and even some country, all perfectly measured, without clearly defining with any of them, giving a result filled with positivity and joy, which they transmit from the very first minute, turning their performance into an authentic party.”

Track Dogs continue to tour in Spain, Ireland and the UK and look forward to bringing their acclaimed live show to other parts of the world.

“…a remarkably assured, modern European acoustic-roots record…an antidote to introverted naval-gazing…”
