GarageDogs Space has early 70s proto punk vibe

Genre: rock, alternative, indie, punk,

Located in: Boston, MA
GarageDogs' song "Space" has an early 70's, proto-punk vibe that grabs you from the opening piano riff. The song is dedicated to William S. Burroughs, the famous junkie and Beat author of 'Naked Lunch.' Burroughs was as influential on the early 1970's punk scene as the Velvet Underground were, and his writing directly influenced the VU's "Heroin," David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs," and Patti Smith Group's "Horses." In "Space" the GarageDogs pay homage to the man and his writing while conjuring the music he influenced. The standard guitar/bass/drums arrangement is augmented by a blistering piano track and a vocal that bounces off the tricky, kinky lyric and finishes in a chorus of full-throated screams. The hope was to conjure the mysterious, spooky aura of Burroughs' writing but to wrap it in a rock-n-roll shell.
The music we are creating is...
Burroughs most famous works are about drug addiction, a theme the GarageDogs have explored before. "Space (for William S. Burroughs)" adds a John Cale inspired piano line into the mix and creates an almost "other-worldly" feel on the bridge. The lyrics, many of them inspired by Burroughs' work, are disturbing and cheeky, name-checking everything from David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" to the film 'Jaws.' Fans of, the Beat writers will find a treasure trove of references in the lyrics, which begin in a tight spot, and move toward freedom for the junkie protagonist. The GarageDogs' 5th studio album, "Beyond Good & Evil," returns to their early punk/glam influences through the looking glass of experience and uses the past to illuminate the present. The album is full of homage and influence from both writers and other bands, and being the GarageDogs means there will always be a lot of Velvet Underground love and Johnny Cash wisdom guiding the process.
Right now we are...
The GarageDogs' are releasing their 5th studio album, "Beyond Good & Evil" in April. This sprawling record, their first since 2005's critically acclaimed "Withdrawl," finds the three Hough brothers looking back at their legacy and moving their sound and their subject matter into the present. After their father died in 2015, the Hough boys knew it was time to go back into the studio. The new record is full of poppy hooks, punky dancers, and country anthems, but with new wisdom and the added benefit of experience.
About the artist...
The GarageDogs was formed by the three Hough brothers (Billy, Paul, and Matt) in their parents' garage in Alabama. Realizing they sounded great together, they formed the band and enjoyed huge success in Boston and later Los Angeles in the punk scene. After the release of 2005's "Withdrawl" the band took a break, focusing on starting families as well as solo projects, namely "Scream Along with Billy." The GarageDogs continued to play giant live shows in NYC and toured the country a bit, but the studio's pull grew too great to resist. In 2016, following their father's death, the Houghs (with bassist Susan Goldberg) went into the studio and created the best album of their career.

GarageDogs Reflects on his earliest punk influences on New Single 'Television'
"Television" by GarageDogs is a dark rocker track about being trapped and alone.
This song finds the GarageDogs going back to their earliest punk influences like Patti Smith Group and the Velvet Underground in the way those bands create a mysterious groove beneath a vocal that starts calmly but grows increasingly intense.
The idea was to go from normality to full-on nervous breakdown in 4 minutes. The band uses distortion and feedback to dirty up it's beautiful by ominous melody, adding a theremin to increase the mystery.
The song, intentionally vague at times to give the listener a chance to determine whether the "hell" the singer describes represents drugs, depression or a toxic relationship. Though all of these are hinted at in the lyrics, the recent lockdowns and quarantines have given the sense of isolation and boredom even more meaning. The song is not without hope, however, as the vocal eventually moves into chaos, it seems to imply that there is finally a rip in the fabric that will allow the protagonist to escape.
The GarageDogs pulled from the dark, heady rock of the American punk bands of the '70s to craft a song about isolation and despair that moves toward chaos, the singer tearing the walls down in hope of escaping. This difficult year has won everyone down, and this song both captures this sense of hopelessness and moves the listener to the breaking point, as the singer tries to finally escape his situation.

This is the second single from the GarageDogs' masterpiece, 'Beyond Good & Evil,' their first studio album since 2005's critically acclaimed 'Withdrawl.' The band has crafted a terrifying video to accompany the song, inspired by the great b/w horror films of the 1960's.
The GarageDogs are three brothers who started covering Velvet Underground songs in their parents' Alabama basement. They moved to Boston and took over the thriving punk scene of the late 90's. After releasing 3 classic punk albums, the band moved to LA and released their fourth album 'Withdrawl' in 2005. The band took a break in 2005 and oldest brother Billy Hough started 'Scream Along with Billy' with bassist Susan Goldberg. With Paul and Matt Hough backing them, they released two more albums before reforming the GarageDogs (with Goldberg) in 2015 to create 'Beyond Good & Evil,' their upcoming album.
