INTERVIEW - THE DOGS: LONG LOST LP TO RELEASE IN 2024

Image
  These Dogs are not from Rouen, France, but from Michigan, USA. Their lead singer and guitarist, Loren, has kindly agreed to answer our questions. Interview. Your last album, Hypersensitive, was first released in 2012 on CD and it's just been rereleased on LP last September. First of all, can you tell us why you decided to rerelease the album on LP? Was the CD sold out? When we first released Hypersensitive we pressed 500 cd’s to sell at shows and it never was released for streaming. We had sold out of the cd pressing also, so very few people had heard it. When Heavy Medication Records in Poland approached us for a vinyl LP release we were excited to finally get the LP to get out to more fans. Why did you chose to rerelease the album on Heavy Medication Records ? You already knew this label ? How all this took place ? Well our good friend Pat Todd from the Lazy Cow Girls + Rankoutsiders introduced us to Derrick Ogrodny at Heavy Medication Records and Derrick knew Hypersensitiv

First of all, could you introduce yourselves? Hi I’m Chris Blackburn & I’m the guitarist/singer/songwriter in The Mourning After. Have you played in other bands before? I was the bass player in The Tenants which were formed at our high school when we were 15 years old. We were all huge fans of The Beatles after the BBC aired their films at Christmas 1978. From then on we all started listening to other 60’s beat band’s such as The Kinks , Pretty Things , Yardbirds to name a few and covered many of their tunes as well as penning our own. first Line Up What brought you to the music you play together? The Tenant’s disbanded when the members went off to University but we all remained good friends and stayed in contact. By this time we’d spread our musical wings into the realms of 60’s garage wh

MUCK AND THE MIRES : There’s nothing better than finding out your heroes are amazing people

We've already talked about them in the Sound Of Now section. Their new album should be out early next year. We spoke to Evan Shore (Muck in the band) in anticipation of their new LP. As French people, we're fascinated by the music of Boston ( our webzine even has a section devoted to musicians from this city ). Can you tell us about your musical Boston? Is it as wonderful as we think it is? Boston has always had a large and diverse music scene and you can see all types of live music 7 nights a week. But it was a handful of now legendary garage and punk bands from the 60s and 70s that created what many around the world consider the “Boston sound”. Groups like The Remains , The Barbarians , The Real Kids , Jonathan Richmond and the Modern Lovers , DMZ , Lyres , Nervous Eaters to name a few.  Who are the musicians without whom Muck & The Mires wouldn't be what it is today? Which bands have really influenced you? I was introduced to The “ Nuggets ” garage rock compilat

Can you tell us about your "music childhood" in Glasgow and how you discovered the music that still accompanies your life?
