Little Dog Star Unleashes "National Disgrace"

Manchester-born, London-based indie newcomer Little Dog Star is making her mark fast. Just a month after her shimmering debut It’s You, she’s back with National Disgrace — a gritty, adrenaline-fueled indie rock anthem about risk, reinvention, and stepping boldly into the unknown. Out today, the track captures the rush of leaving behind comfort zones and chasing something bigger. With hazy, magnetic vocals and pulsing instrumentation, it feels like standing on the edge of a new life and finally jumping. National Disgrace is euphoric yet deeply personal, weaving raw emotion into a driving, psychedelic undercurrent. It’s the sound of clarity breaking through chaos — a moment suspended in motion.

From Manchester to London, Fear to Fire

Speaking on the song’s origins, Little Dog Star explains, “National Disgrace is like the transition from me leaving the north and moving to London, it has this drive and impulsivity to it. I was afraid for so long of being seen and making a mistake that by the time I left, half of me kinda wanted to be front page.” That tension between fear and freedom fuels the track’s electric edge, channeling influences like LCD Soundsystem while remaining distinctly her own. The result is an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt the thrill of change burn hotter than the fear of failure.

A Rising Voice in Indie

With National Disgrace, Little Dog Star builds on the momentum of her debut, proving her ability to balance intimacy with widescreen energy. Where It’s You shimmered like a dream, this new release punches harder, offering another facet of her quickly forming identity as an artist. Praised by outlets like Fizzy Magazine and Atwood Magazine, she’s carving a lane that blends cult indie textures with emotional storytelling. It’s clear that Little Dog Star isn’t just arriving — she’s already rising, one bold leap at a time.
