Band: Dog Will Hunt
From: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Their formation story:
(John Lowe, vocals): "We’re all long-timers from various Pennsylvania and Delaware hardcore bands that have either been in bands together or have been friends for a long time."
Their sound in their own words:
"The goal for this band was to make some music that vibes like Only Living Witness, Crowbar, and Life of Agony. We wanted to add some grunge and butt rock influence in as well to make it our own, but not cross the 'corny' threshold.
"I think you’ll find some Alice In Chains and Slipknot influence there accordingly."
Latest release info:
"We just dropped our demo/EP/whatever. Truthfully, I hate it when bands call their first thing an EP, but this does feel like more of a complete thought than your average demo. I produced it, we tracked it in our old practice spot. I think it came out great, its four quick songs and it hits hard.
"My favorite part is that the drums were tracked on a kit I bought for 150 bucks on Facebook marketplace the night before (including stands and hardware!)"
Future plans:
"Our other current bands have pretty busy summers, so we’re kind of just taking it as it comes with this project. We should be playing regularly in the northeast, and hopefully we can get some short trips together to escape Philly over the winter.
"This band is really about writing music, so I’d expect more songs in the near future as well."
What other bands from their region should we check out?
"I’d be in trouble if I didn’t recommend our other current bands: Damnation’s Domain, False Salvation, CDC, Omit All, and Ritual Carnality. My favorite bands from the general area right now are Dark Thoughts, Gridiron, and Soft No."
