Commentary...
"Like Hootie & the Blowfish, Shayna and the Bulldog are actually a quartet of humans—no animals—and they've just sent their first album, States, out into the world. Like Hootie, every song sounds suspiciously like a hit, but unlike Hootie, this band is actually really good. Fans of Hootie (if there are any of those left) will take comfort in the durability of their classic rock sound, but others will appreciate the inventive, crackling songwriting. Check out the way "Expatriate" transforms from a bittersweet midnight ballad into a bright and boppy sing-along, or how "Again Today" sounds like a jackknife-sharp dialogue between early Tom Petty and current-day Patterson Hood. There's nary a misstep from the Davis, California, band—States is as good a debut as you'll hear this year." - The Portland Mercury
"California pop rock with a singer/songwriter flair." - Perfect Porridge
"...you can hear influences from their Cali roots, all the way to Motown and the Honky Tonks." - antiMUSIC
"Shayna and the Bulldog...makes sun-kissed, twangy indie rock that will satisfy the part of you that misses Whiskeytown and “Being There”-era Wilco." - Bend Bulletin
"Very pleasant alt-country on [States]...There's not a bad song on the record." - WLUR radio 91.5 FM
"We’ve grown especially fond of Shayna and the Bulldog, who have an awesomely Dr. Dog-ish sound – which is a very good thing." - The Source Weekly
"If a band could personify a season, Shayna and the Bulldog would be summer. This four-member Davis band is bluegrass meets rock n' roll, bringing the kind of energy and catchy lyrics to their songs that make you want to get out and enjoy the sunny weather."
- The California Aggie
"... a band with a guitar tone that is definitely West Coast and sunny...some tracks are good engough for inclusion on a local Nuggets alike collection of Californian indie pop in about twenty years or so (sic). Kids In A Movie and Again Today in particular show that there is potential for musical growth." - Here Comes the Flood
“'States' is the best local album I've heard in some time: just what this band needs to hit it big."- Davis Enterprise
"You guys are better than a street corner!"
- Unknown bystander, Sacramento, CA

Hey Shayna & the Bulldog(s) Thanks for the invite. I wish I could make it, but already have plans. I checked out a couple of songs...catchy :) You'll rock the house for sure. Let me know when your coming through again. Have a safe tour Erik
Underwater Getdown decided to throw us a benefit out of the goodness of their hearts, and we love them for that (actually, we love them anyway, but that is beside the point). Support community media, support local music, and have a kickin' good time all at once for a measly 5 bucks!
