Feral Family – Down In The Dirt
“Never did find love,” opines vocalist Jamie Lowe on the opening of Feral Family’s latest single — a line that guarantees it won’t be appearing on your office party playlist any time soon.
“I wanted to capture that moment of surrender when hope fades,” Lowe explains. “It’s not just about losing love — it’s about losing faith in the idea of it.”
A blues-tinged lament, “Down In The Dirt” eschews the band’s trademark urgency, unfolding instead with a languid melancholy. The track slowly peels back a tale of loss and longing before guitarist Oscar Woods finally unleashes a wave of sound and fury in the cataclysmic final third.
A live force to be reckoned with, Feral Family have previously supported The View, The Lilacs, and The Heavy North. They’ll play their final headline show of 2025 on December 18 at Aatma, Manchester, with support from The Social Club and a special guest TBA.
With multiple Top 10 charting singles already to their name, the band has earned airplay and support from John Kennedy (Radio X), Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music), and Jericho Keys — twice featured as BBC Introducing’s “Featured Artist”. Their music has also appeared on E4’s Made In Chelsea and The Independent’s “Now Hear This” playlist.
“Down In The Dirt” marks the third single from Feral Family’s upcoming sophomore EP, set for release in February 2026.
