Dog Eat Dog

Dog Eat Dog made its big breakthrough in 1994 with the hit single No Fronts and the album All Boro Kings. The story behind Dog Eat Dog started a little earlier though... Dog Eat Dog has actually been around since 1990, when Dave Neabore and Sean Kilkenny decided to form a band of their own after previously playing in another band called Mucky Pup. A short while later Dave and Sean were accompanied by John Connor who was to act as the voice of the band and Dan Nastasi, who would play the second guitar.

Vulkano

"From the ashes of Those Dancing Days rise these two Swedish post punk poppettes" The background: "I know it's out there!" goes the arresting refrain to Vision Kicks, the debut single from Vulkano. If you took Ikona Pop's cheeky surliness and spliced it with Savages at their most savage, i.e. as they sound on Husbands, you might end up with something like Vulkano. That's in our dreams and being generous.
