Brutal Poodle

**Brutal Poodle** is a Manchester-based punk/alternative rock trio serving up gritty, riff-heavy tunes with a side of sardonic wit. Formed in the late 2010s, the band channels ’90s grunge energy and punk rock attitude into tracks like "Hi Apathy" and "Skyscraper," blending raw distortion with lyrics that skewer modern malaise and societal absurdities. Recent split singles like "Night Creeps / Wash" and "Crowd Control / Low Tide" showcase their knack for pairing sneering anthems with groove-driven hooks, while "Dammit" (a cheeky nod to pop-punk’s past) highlights their irreverent streak. Known for DIY ethics and raucous live shows, Brutal Poodle remains a scrappy underdog in the UK garage-rock scene, cranking out unpolished bangers that stick like glue.
