Our music encompasses the passion, the modern survival of winged tipped shoes, seahorse androgyny, moon-rivers and bingo, and is heavily influenced by beer, The Coasters, The Stooges and Velvet Underground.There’s a lot about Austin’s A Giant Dog
My first exposure to AGD was when “Fight” came out last year, and it has dominated my car-listening time since. Bone only strengthens. There’s something extremely infectious about everything this band has to offer. The melodies are absolutely astounding. I didn’t know there was so much uncharted territory left in the realm of the guitar-bass-drums trinity. It’s not just vocal melody either. The band fires on all cylinders, with every member seemingly adding a great deal to the sound.
Their songs build and changes as it goes. The drums employ the tambourine and varying crashes, the guitars both hold the weighty opening riffs and trail off into later riffs, and even the bass gets to choose what note to hit. I can only imagine the process by which a thought and a hum turns into an AGD track.
The lastest album Bone stands at a scant 25-ish minutes in length and at least 4 of its 13 tracks are re-recorded from previous releases.
A Giant Dog is all over the place with sound and they’re doing things that no other band is.
