Dogs

Dogs have been around for a few years now and they're still one of the best live acts I've seen. Their gigs are electric, incendiary affairs, enough even for Dave 'Don't Mention The Sex Pistols' over at shitboyfriend to imagine 'this what it must have been like watching the Pistols' when we saw them in a sweaty, fucking hot Bar Academy in Brum, just after the release of their debut album. 'Turn Against This Land' was released in 2005 and was a cracking gem of a release, full of punk indie tracks that were stripped of any bollox and just rocked out. Their second album 'Tall Stories From Under The Table calmed it all down a bit and featured Mr Paul Weller, no less. It featured some great tunes, 'Little Pretenders' is ace, but it didn't have the PUNCH of the debut.

They disapeared off the radar after that, for me anyway, but they're back now and they need our support, godammit. They're going to release an EP in 2010 and they're looking for pledges to make it happen. You can go here, make a pledge, be it a signed CD for 15 quid, a chance to drink the bands rider for 55, right up to them performing a gig at your house for a grand! Whatever it is you pledge, pledge something because we need to keep bands like Dogs around.
