Mmm, very much groove based metal I guess, I'm thinking a dense version of The Organization, lacking thrills, packing beef. Could be a bit of Alice In Chains, but also Bad Brains circa 'Rise' but without the alternative takes. Maintains a hold without ever adjusting its stance, packs a punch as a meaty, early '90s record, losing itself in a stoned Mindfunk mire mixed with a darker Anthrax chug. Don't know an awful lot about it but sums up metal from the time, because anything that wasn't crushed by Nirvana may have lacked direction, so it's no surprise that Piece Dogs sound pissed off and indeed they do like to snarl and wave a baseball bat. Kinda cool without being flashy, and exists for no real reason except to remind us that there was a heartbeat beneath the grunge fluff. Wednesday 27 July 2011
