Something a little heavier today (the band describe themselves as Rock and Roll/Desert Rock/Punk Rock/Riff Rock) from a band that are influenced by your favourite rock bands, including Black Flag, Queens Of The Stone Age, Motorhead, Minor Threat, Refused and Off!
Cross Dog are from Peterborough, Ontario and have been around for a couple of years. Featuring Tracy A (vocals), Mark Rand (bass) and Mikey Reid (drums), the trio use only bass and drums to back up Tracy's aggressive female vocals. They released their s/t debut album, in July 2013 and will be following it up on the 1st May with Vigilante, on Uncle D Records. You can listen to them here : https://crossdog.bandcamp.com/
Here's the title track from the new disc, play it loud and let that bass worm it's way into your head.....
I don't really want to start a riot
I saw a few on TV and thought I'd try it
I don't really wanna live like this
But hot showers in the gutter mean piss
I'm aware of my unkempt appearance
But in the words of Ian
"I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT!"
I'd fight the power with some anarchy
But I'm not even really sure what that means
And that's a problem
Vigilante, vigilante
Revolution wishes and gutterpunk dreams
Vigilante, vigilante
Money for huffing and the stink for free
I don't really wanna finish these lyrics
Open up the gates for all the internet critics
I don't wanna read a wordy opinion
About how this album is worse than the last one
I'm aware that I have changed the perspective
From sarcastic cynical to defensive
I'd fight the power of the blogs and the zines
But I'm not even really sure what that means
Your words do nothing
Vigilante, vigilante
Fight against art and fight against dreams
Vigilante, vigilante
Fighting word crimes from behind a screen
Win the war by refusing to battle
Vigilante, vigilante
Revolution wishes and gutterpunk dreams
Vigilante, vigilante
Fight against art and fight against me
