St. Andrews, Scotland (1997 – 2006, 2008 – 2009)

Dogs Die in Hot Cars are an band from St. Andrews, Scotland consisting of members Craig Macintosh (vocals, guitar), Gary Smith (vocals, guitar), Ruth Quigley (vocals, keyboards, French horn), Lee Worrall (bass and glockenspiel) and Laurence Davey (drums and percussion).

Macintosh, Smith, Worrall and Davey all met at Madras College and began playing together in 1993 at the age of 14. After having performed under various names they settled on “Dogs Die In Hot Cars” in 1997. In 1999 they moved to Glasgow where they met Ruth Quigley to complete the line up.

In 2003 they released their Man Bites Man EP under the Radiate Records. Later that year they signed to V2 Records.

In July 2004 they released their debut album Please Describe Yourself (Produced by Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley), which included the tracks “I Love You ‘Cause I Have To”, “Godhopping” and “Lounger”. “Godhopping” peaked at #24 on the UK Singles Chart and remains the band’s biggest hit. “I Love You ‘Cause I Have To” peaked at #32 on the UK Singles Chart and narrowly missed the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in the United States.

A song of the band’s, entitled ‘Nobody Teaches Life Anything’ (found on 2004 release Man Bites Man EP) was used in a lengthy television advertising campaign in the UK by Boots.

In 2006, whilst recording their second album, the band announced they had disbanded

Around April 2008 the band began to release their second album demos along with their individual track files, free to download from their website for people to use to make their own versions of the songs and then send those versions back to the band.
