SLAUGHTER & THE DOGS: Do It Dog Style Vinyl LP

Manchester's other great first-wave punk band, finally getting an album out before most of their peers.

Do It Dog Style (1978) is glam-damaged, hook-heavy UK punk that splits the difference between the New York Dolls swagger Slaughter & the Dogs idolized and the speed and aggression of the punk scene they came up in alongside Buzzcocks and Joy Division. "Cranked Up Really High" remains a stone classic of the era -- fast, dumb, and absolutely correct.
