Bad Dog Records started in 1996. The orginal intention was to provide a home for Berlin's own Troopers, but the label quickly became more than that, with the release of Bruisers "molotov" ep. Since then a lot of German streetpunk bands have joined the ranks, f.e. Bierpatrioten or Verlorene Jungs. Then take a couple of tasty licences from Bonecrusher, DOA, Run Like Hell and The Forgotten, and add current faves like The Business, Radio Dead Ones, Sham 69, deutschpunk legend OHL and Kings of Nuthin, and you have a potent mix of oi!, punk and street rock.18.5.08RAZORSAnd one more: Hamburg..s punk legends RAZORS will put out their discography through Bad Dog Records. The double cd will include one cd with new recordings and one with all their previously released songs since 1977! it will be entitled "dirty thirty" and will hit the streets around september9.5.08ROLANDO RANDOMAnd one more signing: We are proud to annouce that Berlin..s finest in ska, ROLANDO RANDOM, signed with us too.

__________OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM SHAM 69Last year saw the band busier than ever after parting company with Jimmy Pursey in early 2007. With an impressive workload this year Sham 69 continues to move forward with gigs around the world, and work is in progress in the studio with more releases on the way.Jimmy Pursey has now officially confirmed that he will front his new band 'Day 21' and Sham 69 would like to wish him all the luck he deserves. We have been aware of his intentions for some time now and glad, at last, that there is no further confusion on come backs/different versions etc etc.
Long live Sham 69._________________________________________________________
