Pittsburgh’s feral punks Snarling Dogs return to bite the hand that feeds them with their debut self-titled LP
This unhinged offering kicks out 11 revved-up, slobbering 77-esque punk tracks that will have wasted, spikey punks diving into the pit never to return.
Songs like ‘Nothing Left’ are charged and chock full of hits sounding like a demented mix of Raw Power era Stooges with the speed and aggression of The Damned or The Dead Boys. The record expands from there with songs like ‘Hour At A Time’ – a locked in dirgy, psychedelic stroll through crime ridden city streets. From there songs like ‘Enemy’ rip through the void with manic energy – fast, raw and visceral almost stepping into early hardcore territory. While the record has these intense dynamic shifts, Snarling Dogs glue it all together with their cohesive live rock n roll energy. Band is the perfect escape from the mundanity of life. Chug that 40 oz on your lunch break, smoke that entire pack of cigs, and take a piss on your boss’s car. There are two dogs in you. Now it’s time to set the Snarling Dog free. – Sims Hardin
