People and Dogs

image
After reading about the pit bull on a rampage in Reservoir a couple of days ago (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26228455-421,00.html) , it started me thinking again about people and dogs. Now I will start off by saying that I do not own a dog. Never have, but probably will at some point in the future when my daughter is a bit older and can understand how to take care of one.I have been around dogs, I know people who have dogs. I know people who have cute little fluffy white one, ugly slobbering fat ones, old crippled blind ones and yes, even people with pit bulls. And to those with pit bulls, you will probably not like my opinion on people and dogs, but then you may also agree with me.

You can do a google search on pit bulls and get just as much information on how they are lovely family dogs that cuddle up to 9 month old babies as well as how they will rip your throat out as quick as look at you. You read about how their aggressive fighting streak has been bred out of them just as much as how they are bred for dog fighting, and to rip throats out. Of course I believe the earlier version, because lets face it, who on earth fights dogs in this day and age, so why would they need to breed a fighting instinct into a dog... Yeah.. Righto. Point being there are arguements on both side of the fence, and both insist that they know they truth.

Well worth the wait from these Queensland lads, this 6 track E.P that I have been lucky enough to get a demo of contains six tracks of good old Oi!,

 

Slick 46 - Young Love

Latest 10" release hot off the press from Melbournes own Slick 46.

Out now through Longshot...

Longshots blurb: This is the 4th proper release from this gruff and aggressive streetpunk band from Melbourne, Australia! With the additional of Flea on bass, SLICK 46 have become more melodic with the female vocals adding more melody to the no-nonsense 80's Oi! sound that they have been known for in the past...

THUG - The Interview

Having just released their debut full length album, I got Simon to answer a few questions about the band, the new release and what else the future holds for THUG

 


The Rumjacks - 'Hung, Drawn and Portered'

Well for a band that has only been around about 12 months (perhaps not even that) these guys have certainly aquired themselves a good following and have managed to release a friggin awesome debut E.P.

My main gripe about the E.P is just that, it is an E.P. E.P's are good, if the band is shit, but they suck when the band isn't shit.
