American Dog

High energy guitar driven pure rock ‘n roll!

About Me

Rude, lewd, dirty, and drunken hard rock is American Dog's stock in trade. A breath of fresh air from a band who brings back "working man's" metal, spitting in the face of political correctness.
Formed from the ashes of Hilljack by former members Michael Hannon (vocals/bass, also ex-Salty Dog and Dangerous Toys member) and Keith Pickens (drums). They recruited Steve Theado on guitar and started taking their raunchy music to every seedy bar around. Their debut album was released on an independent label, and the following year they released a live in the studio EP that showcased the power and rawness they possessed.
The current album is more straight forward kick-ass rock'n'roll that stays true to their roots. These are the type of rockers that will never hit it big despite entertaining songs and live show. Music like this just isn't made for the mainstream; it's created for people that have fun in dark, smoke-filled bars.
