Hi Punk Fans,

CD Album Review: Hypersensitive by The Dogs

Fuck yeah! The Dogs are back to ensure that every rock'n'roll maniac's wet dream comes true. Amazingly, they are still rockin' it big time after over 40 years of existence. They grew up in Michigan and took their Stooges/MC5 infused influences to Los Angeles in the mid-70's where I had the pleasure of seeing them play nearly 20 times.

If you are looking for ballads, this is not the album for you. This is blistering punk rock'n'roll at its finest. My three favorites are "I Got Nothing", "Punk Rock Holiday" and "You Can't Catch Me", all with Loren Dog's trademark guitar power. Mary Kay, Loren's partner in crime for their entire existence, returns on bass and Tony Mateucci rounds it out on drums.

The Dogs pay homage to their hometown heroes on "Motor City Fever" reminding us of just how much great music has come out of Detroit. You can hear the "I Wanna Be Your Dog" piano riff in the background to "In on the Out". There is a also a blistering remake of their 70's classic, "Slash Your Face".

If you know the Dogs, this will fit in nicely with their previous catalog. If you don't know the Dogs, why not? Get it now!!

All of the ordering information for the CD or digital download is available here: www.thedetroitdogs.com Get on their mailing list while you're at it.

The album can also be streamed here: www.tunecore.com/music/thedogs

I also need to throw in a plug for Doggy Days, a 2 DVD retrospective of the Dogs 40 year career. It contains entire sets from the Garage in L.A. in 2000 and two full sets from their Japan tour in 2007. The second disc contains rare photos, set lists and flyers (some of which I contributed to the project) against the musical backdrop of a set recorded at the Whisky A-Go-Go in 1978. I might also mention that there are extensive liner notes provided by Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Jeff Dahl and yours truly. This was put together by Detroit Jack and I thank him for this wonderful tribute to one of my all time favorite bands.
