We\u2019re just heading into March, and already I\u2019m reviewing my second potential album of the year. And both albums are virtually EP length, which may raise some eyebrows. The (slim) link to prog is that \u2018Here To Destroy\u2019 is the same length as \u2018Supper\u2019s Ready\u2019 and they\u2019re both fantastic, in very different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dogs\u2019 second album literally kicks off with \u2018Stay Tuned\u2019 and doesn\u2019t let up for a moment of its 22 minutes, their intention is clear from the start. You should be familiar already with the likes of \u2018Monster Truck\u2019, which, on listening today, reminds me of the mighty Sick Livers. Now that would have been a great double headliner! \u2018Lafayette\u2019 has been on repeat chez moi since release, showing the band have range and a love of Northern Soul. What\u2019s not to like? Similarly, \u2018And What?\u2019 and \u2018Precious Stones\u2019 are pleasingly familiar by now, the latter a ferocious tune and hypnotic video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
