The Slay Duggee version was released within 48 hours of the original being broadcast, and was featured on UK radio shortly afterwards[3]. DJ Steve Lamacq, of BBC 6 Music, has described them as "the Lords of Toddler Metal."[4]
In 2018 Slay Duggee collaborated with guitarist James Monteith from TesseracT, and singer Nicky “Scorpion” Calonne from Nekrogoblikon, on a cover version of ‘Everything Is Awesome’ from The Lego Movie[5]. In 2018 Slay Duggee released a Christmas Single 'Walking in the Air' with singer Daniel Tompkins from TesseracT [6].
Slay Duggee released their debut album 'Kids Love Metal' in 2018 [7].
Steve Lamacq had Slay Duggee live in session on his BBC 6 Music radio show in Aug 2019 [8]. Steve performed guest duck quacks on the song Sarah & Duck.
In Aug 2019, their first live gig 'My First Metal Gig' at Craufurd Arms, Milton Keynes sold out within 2 hours [9].
