Second release on Melodies Massacre by the Dogs from Rouen and this five track goodie was recorded in Boulogne in only Forty-Eight hours and received very good reviews in the press and gave the band more and more concerts. In 1979, they signed to a Major (Phonogram) and released their debut album Different. They gained a decent following in France and their likeable, frantic catchy music gained a certain notoriety accordingly and their gigs were always well attended. This was reflected in their creativity and numerous albums/singles were recorded up until 2001 and since then things have been quiet on the vinyl front and I can't say if the bands still active.... so enjoy now five splendid pieces of brilliant songwriting.
