The Lovedogs
"Ah, yes, gotta love the Lovedogs. Not only for their antics, but
also for their Material Issue-ish sound -- high-energy, power pop
melodies fortified with heavy guitars and a punk rock attitude. Both
passions are evident on their new CD, 'Girlfriend' on LDI Records. On
the inside, you have the punchy, catchy tunes." - Sean Leary
Sam Auliff - Vocals
Steve Swyers - Drums
Tony Vermeer - Guitar
Jim Kasper - Bass
Tony Vermeer at Augiepalooza Sept. 17th, 2005 (Catzo)
"With influences ranging from Material Issue and The Clash to Thin Lizzy and KISS, the record is action-packed with thrusting melodies attacked with pulse-pounding verve. It's head candy -- damn-the-cliches-play-it-loud kind of music -- and the band relishes it. The Lovedogs eschew any messages or pretense with their music. The only criteria is that it be fun, the guys say." - Sean Leary
