Albums of the Year 2025: #15

Who Let The Dogs Out is the debut album from Brighton based noise-punk duo Lambrini Girls. Recorded with Gilla Band’s Daniel Fox with mixing by Seth Manchester (Mdou Moctar/ Battles / Model/Actriz), Who Let The Dogs Out bottles everything wrong with the modern world and shakes it up.

If peppering political songs with humour is like sticking a sparkler in some bread, then Who Let The Dogs Out is like a fireworks display in the factory itself: strange, dangerous, exciting. The album rips through a laundry list of social ills. Sirens blare over a heavy distorted bass and a live drum breakbeat. The band dance between upbeat pop punk, dirty grunge tones and discordant post-punk. There’s even some noise-pop cheer for putting yourself first, whether it’s having an autistic meltdown or doing a poo at your mate’s house.

With instrumentals that inhale you like a Level 5 tornado and sentiments that make you want to kick the nearest door through, it’s a take-no-prisoners debut from one of the UK’s most fun and fearless bands.
