If you're into
spit in dust biker bars, women and booze, then 'Hard' is the CD you've
been waiting for!
American Dog
don't hold any punches on this their 6th offering with the all out rock
instrumental 'Bock' setting the tone and from there it's dirty Southern
blues/rock all the way. The 3 piece band sounding like they're
enjoying themselves and not giving a damn about anyone.
Singer Michael
Hannon sounds a bit like Alice Cooper trying his hand at this style of
music, and on tracks 'No Pity', 'Another Day In Paradise' and
'Bloodsucker' there's definitely a nod towards Motorhead, each song
proving how good the musicianship is within the band.
Guitarist Steve
Theado knocks out a classy acoustic intro for 'Long Time Coming' (not to
be confused with The Quireboys track), before it bursts into the slide
guitar bluesy track it actually is, and he does the same for 'Broken,
Beaten, Etc', the song which probably sums up the band with a beer can
being opened, a belch then into some lazy, worn out style vocals!
The stand-out
track has to be the tongue-in-cheek 'Sometimes You East The Pussy', a
sleazy slice of rock that is bound to become a favourite in the live shows
they'll do to promote this CD, and I can see 'Hard' being played before
going out on a lads night out!!
