The Dogs (Detroit) "Hypersensitive" LP

Fans of high-energy Motor City rock & roll have reason to rejoice! This is the first-ever vinyl edition of the second album by The Dogs, the proto-punk trio from Lansing, Michigan that recorded the off-the-rails 1978 stormer “Slash Your Face”, immortalized on the first volume of the legendary “Killed by Death” comp.

Formed in 1968 and still active today, The Dogs sound bridges the gap between hard rock and punk, with guitar pyrotechnics and power-trio dynamics you'd expect from a band with a such a deep Motor City pedigree.

"Hypersensitive" features The Dogs’ strongest batch of tunes yet, featuring eleven originals (including a new studio version of “Slash Your Face”) and a cover of The Pagans’ “Her Name Was Jane”. The band has lost none of its raw power nor shake appeal. Check out this album’s centerpiece “Motor City Fever” for reference; you’ll know what we mean right from the opening riff.

Hypersensitive was self- released on CD via the band’s own Detroit Records and sold mostly at gigs, so it never reached the wider audience this killer album deserves. Heavy Med is proud to release this Dogs ‘lost classic’ on vinyl for the first time ever! Available in classic black or red/black marbled versions.
