Before John Lennon had penned "John Sinclair" in 1971 as a protest against the political imprisonment of John Sinclair, The Dogs had written their own now famous rallying cry for the revolution titled, “John Rock and Roll Sinclair”. The Dogs walked, and continue to walk arm in arm with their brothers and sisters in the struggles of the past and present.
Following the demise of the revolution, The Dogs left Michigan to become cofounders of the punk movements in New York and L.A. The Dogs' "Fed Up" and "Slash Your Face" are recognized as seminal anthems of the punk era. From playing gigs with the MC5, Alice Cooper, the Up, the Rationals and so on, to playing with the Ramones, Television, AC/DC, the Controllers and on and on, The Dogs were and are one of the most respected bands of the rock era.
All who listen recognize the purity of The Dogs spirit, and the uniqueness of their masterful simplicity, which is powerful, poetic and "strong like a Viet Cong". For this reason, Future Now Records has released "The Dogs Tribute . . . Doggy Style". A 26 band, 2 CD package with a 28 page booklet containing liner notes by John Sinclair, never before seen photos, artwork by Rockin' Jellybean, and amazing unreleased recordings of The Dogs from the height of the revolution in 1971, and from L.A. in 1976. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *HMV: http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2664778
