The Dogs walk arm in arm with their brothers and sisters in the struggles of the past and present. Before John Lennon had penned "John Sinclair" in 1971 as a protest against the political imprisonment of John Sinclair, The Dogs had written their own now famous rallying cry titled, "John Rock and Roll Sinclair" to free John from his 10 year sentence for giving two marijuana cigarettes to undercover police officers. Following the demise of the revolution, The Dogs left Michigan to become cofounders of the punk movements in New York and L.A. The Dogs' "Fed Up" and "Slash Your Face" are recognized as seminal songs of the punk era. From playing gigs with the MC5, SRC, Bob Seger, Frost, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, the Rationals, Alice Cooper, Guardian Angel, Cactus . . . to BTO, Van Halen, the Ramones, AC/DC, Y&T and so on. The Dogs were and are one of the most respected bands of the rock era. All who listen recognize the purity of The Dogs spirit, and the uniqueness of their masterful simplicity, which is powerful, poetic and "strong like a Viet Cong".
