BirdDog by BirdDog

BirdDog is from Ottawa, Canada. They've spent the past couple of years jamming in their dingy practice space, and playing a handful of live shows. The group, during the time of recording, consisted of guitarist Ray Dickman (ex-Electric Ruin), his brother Eric on bass (ex-Electric Ruin), Diamond Neal on vocals (ex-Mighty Eagle Band) and Andrew Barr on drums. Recently, Dexter Tremblay has stepped in to replace Andrew on drums. The band draws influence from 1970s doom rock, as well as boogie and punk rock. BirdDog is heavy guitar rock, with themes of fear, failure and getting old, performed by skids who lather on voltaren like sunscreen in the hottest parts of hell.

With BirdDog’s first official release, these six songs may ask more questions than they answer, but whether you are asking these questions or just bobbing your head and foot stomping along, the album is 22 minutes of compelling listening.
