Dogs Die in Hot Cars are a Scottish band which became popular in the UK and international music scene around the same time as Biffy Clyro and Franz Ferdinand.
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 The band's name comes from a RSPCA campaign to advise dog owners not to leave their pets in hot cars and has often been a strong talking point of polarized views. In an interview with U.S. Rolling Stone magazine, singer/guitarist Craig Macintosh mentioned that " Rolling Stone in Australia said it was the best band name in the history of rock & roll. But then the NME said it was the worst".
