RABID DOGS – s/t – CD

Italian grind/powerviolence act Rabid Dogs presents its eponymous full-length debut, a 15-track effort inspired by Italian thrillers and exploitation films of the 1970s. With a heavy dose of hardcore punk and hints of brutal death metal, “Rabid Dogs” is an album that bounces between disparate genres without sounding too forced or derivative, some of the time. But sometimes, when a band tries to be too much of everything to everyone, it instead winds up being nothing to no one. Rabid Dogs rides the fence somewhere along this at times unnavigable border.
