Watch the “Mad Dog in the Fog” music video here.Of the album, frontman Pat Monahan shares: “It’s been over four years since our last album, and we channeled a special energy into this record that really defines all parts of who we are as a band. Mad Dog in the Fog is one of the first places in San Francisco where Train came together as a band. It was the first venue to pay us to play, and its owner, Cyril, has been one of our biggest champions from the beginning. So it only felt right to name this album in its honor.”He adds, of the new song: “The title track is out everywhere now, so pull up a stool, grab yourself a drink and give it a listen. If you’ve been with us since the beginning, you might even catch a few familiar names along the way.”“Mad Dog in the Fog” follows the album’s first two singles “Pennsylvania Turnpike” and “The Weekend,” which debuted to both fan and critical acclaim.Currently in the midst of their biggest headlining tour in years, Train has been celebrating the 25th anniversary of their career-defining album, Drops of Jupiter, all summer long.
