One of the best '80s metal bands you've probably never heard. Wild Dogs were also responsible for the fantastic 'Reign of Terror' opus but this one also boasts those volatile vocals and searing hot guitars which have a dark, thrashy edge. Wild Dogs formed in the early '80s and they are one of those bands whose members are probably best known for their work with other bands, for instance, Jaime St James of Black n' Blue fame was in the band as was Deen Castronovo who went on to work with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne. Anyone wanting to hear what real '80s metal sounded like should check out this brilliant record which boasts the likes of 'No Stoppin' and the frothing opener 'Livin On The Streets'.
This is a real slab of a heavy metal album, and even when the melody drops in there's a real lethal edge to the whole affair an Matt McCourt's vocals really do get the blood rushing through the veins. You've just got to own something as bold and brassy as this, because whether you're a fan of dense-sounding, sinister, razor-sharp guitars or just like to smash your house up to real, panting metal, then 'Man's Best Friend' is a record they will bring out those primal instincts. Top stuff.
8/10
