IT’S been a couple of years since The Bar Dogs first arrived on our radar with enthusiasm, swagger and the music to match and they’ve certainly became a permanent fixture on the lists of Glasgow bands that are hovering on the cusp of greatness.
After undertaking a period of solitude in order to focus on their debut album Friday Night The Eagles Fly, the band have emerged from amid a thick plume of cigarette smoke with the rock ‘n’ roll lament of ‘Sorry.’
Reminiscent of the decadent and pined for days where bands such as The Stones, The Faces, Mott The Hoople and Free held sway over the top 40, the first taste of what’s to come from their electrifying debut is the epitome of the world’s greatest genre at its most unadulterated and exhilarating. Centered on the gravelly, painstakingly honest vocal performance of frontman John Gerrard O’Neill against a backdrop of E Street Band saxophone and rugged guitars, this is a band that aren’t focused on pretension or marketability but have treated the music they’re producing with true care and affection in order to replicate the power of their propulsive live sets.
The Bar Dogs’ debut album Friday Night The Eagles Fly will be released on the 21st April via Button Up Records whilst ‘Sorry’ is available to download from today via Itunes.
