Sweden's Dogbreath are more like the kind of contemporary
Blues-rockers you would expect Fat Possum to be championing.
undeniably commercial, irrefutably progressive and WITHOUT a
doubt saturated in the Blues. Joe Cushley has been raving about
this group for a little while and with good reason; I was blown
away when I heard one of their tracks on his Resonance radio show
- that was through my 'tinny', under a tenner, PC speakers! I
knew this band had something special and so this album has
proved. When you receive a release like this you can't drool just
enough; no matter how many superlatives I can muster to throw at
it - you still won't understand just how fresh and joyous a
listening experience this is! I think to compare this group's
sound to somebody else would serve as injustice; you could easily
pick out elements of other bands sounds, which are present here,
but as a collective entity what Dogbreath produce is the kind of
originality, without tune-sacrificing, you probably thought was
dead in modern music..maybe prehistoric for the Blues..
