Explosive Belgian rockers The Sore Losers released their new album Skydogs internationally on November 4th 2016. Produced by Grammy Award winner Dave Cobb from Nashville, Skydogs was released earlier in the year to huge critical acclaim in Benelux. Recorded in only ten days in Vox Ton Studios in Berlin, Skydogs is The Sore Losers third full-length album. The dirty, blues-rock inspired guitar riffs and gripping vocals of lead singer Jan Straetemans amplify throughout the album, drawing influences from the likes of Led Zeppelin, early Black Sabbath, MC5, The Black Keys, Jack White and The Yardbirds, blended with the energy and attitude of The Ramones.

The Sore Losers have sold-out numerous shows in Benelux, supported Kaiser Chiefs, White Denim and Boss Hog through Europe in 2016 and played +50,000 capacity festivals like Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop and Pinkpop.
