Accolades for Captain Dog Rides Again
Well shit fire son; this here�s one badass rock �n� roll record! Blind Dog were always the best band of MeteorCity�s Viking Rock Trifecta�outshining fellow Swedes, The Mushroom River Band and Lowrider. This in itself was no easy feat as both of those bands kick major ass, but Blind Dog always seemed to go the extra mile in terms of sonic breadth and interesting song structures. With this their second release, the trio returns with the staples that made their debut album so damn good: burly guitars pushed up front in the mix, vocals that range from a soulful tenor to rasping angst, fuzzed out single note grooves, and massive riffs. The mix is perfect, with everything loud enough and in all the right places. The real treat is the songwriting. This album has it all�gigantic riffs, a killer electric piano solo, guitars by the metric ton, waltzes, shuffles, an homage to Hendrix, and enough twists and turns to keep any listener engaged and surprised. Well done gentlemen. Well worth the wait.
Dynamic, passionate and intense, Blind Dog moves easily from smooth to bludgeoning, unleashing an unexpected sonic mix that simultaneously recalls the classic sounds of Superjudge-era Monster Magnet, the jazzy leanings of early Jethro Tull, and the aggressive death �n� roll of Entombed.
A raucous combination of stoner-driven groove and metal-fueled insanity--add Blind Dog to the evergrowing list of kick ass rock 'n' roll bands to rise from Sweden.
