“The members of The Black Dogs first met in late 2007. We made some decent music, but it didn’t work out so well. People came and went, and the line-up was completed at the start of 2009. We reached the Warwick Bandsoc Battle of the Bands Semi-Finals after only a few weeks together and this year we’re in the final.

So… What do you get when you cross an angel-faced singer with an Indian, two guys with varying amounts of afro, and a bass-playing corporate sell-out?

Turns out, not much… except for some seriously fun rock n’ roll! It sounds like what’d happen if Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd really were friends, and liked to jam on Zeppelin tunes, while living as hobos getting hung for murder, yet finding the time to drive fast cars. Imagine all of this being ripped off by the aforementioned angel and distilled into something identical, yet somehow pure and halo-like.”
