Dog Fashion Disco

The name of this band alone gives one a clue as to what plane these guys are operating on -- twisted, demented, offbeat, irreverent music. The band formed in Washington DC, eventually releasing three independent albums, the first two of which are by all accounts not representative of their current sound and are likely very difficult to find. By the time of The Embryo's In Bloom the style was largely in and in fact much of that album was re-recorded, plus some new tracks, for Anarchists Of Good Taste. A clear musical reference point is Mr. Bungle, especially the the carnivalesque keyboard work prevalent throughout. But Dog Fashion disco is more metallic and a bit more focused -- sure, the songs are twisted, and a host of outside influences can be heard if you listen, but they aren't so unstructured as to lose track of the fact that these are songs, not just meandering chaotic jam sessions. Some traditional metallists may not find this quite to their liking, but that's their loss, as this is highly entertaining music -- hardcore circus metal indeed! The band originally broke up in December 2006, but after several reunions in the intervening years, reformed in December 2013.
