Jersey Dogs was an American speed and thrash metal band from Hoboken , New Jersey that was formed in 1989 and broke up around 1993.
history
The band was formed in 1989 after the group Attacker split up that same year . Jersey Dogs consisted of singer and bassist Lou Ciarlo, guitarists John Ilaw and Mike Benetatos and drummer Michael Sabatini. The first EP, Don't Worry, Get Angry! which, in addition to three own songs, contained a cover version of AC / DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Van Halen's Somebody Get Me a Doctor . It was followed by the debut album Thrash Ranch in 1990 . In 1993 a self-titled demo was released before the band split up. A new album was planned for 2005, but has not yet been released. On February 16, 2010, the band released MP3 files that were audio recordings from a concert on February 3, 1990 in New Rochelle , New York, along with Biohazard .
style
classicthrash.com wrote that the Thrash Ranch album cover falsely suggests that of a glam metal band from the 1980s, but the music is a mixture of thrash and speed metal, comparable to the works of Megadeth and Mortal Sin . thethrashmetalguide.com compared the band to San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal bands like Metallica and Testament . You can also hear influences from funk in songs like Greasy Funk Chicken , so that parallels to bands like Mordred can be recognized.
