Members of Grounders, Twist, Rapport and Hooded Fang — the Toronto indie rock four-piece known collectively as No Frills — have announced their long-awaited debut LP Downward Dog. The album is due to arrive on April 1, and now we're getting a sneak peek with a new single.

"I Don't Wanna Be Your Dog Anymore" — inspired by Iggy Pop's "I Wanna Be Your Dog" — marks the third of 14 tracks to arrive from the effort, which was written and recorded as an early-pandemic project. Previously shared tracks include "Ice Cream Cone" and "Drip."

The album follows No Frills' 2018 EP, Nice to Meet You, which contained breakthrough tune "Vegetable Tray."
