The first notes coming out of my speakers are the plucking sounds of a banjo. You might think this is the new 16 Horsepower album. Yet when the electric guitars join the banjo you will get a different impression. This is the raw sound of the Finnish band Dust Eater Dogs. Their own description of hardrock 'n roll is quite accurate as their music has a real rock 'n roll feel though a bit raw. The opening song Millstone Grrrind is a good example of their abilities. Great song with Benny's raw vocals. Oil contains nine tracks DeD wrote from 1996-2000, and a cover song. The band did Bride's Psychedelic Super Jesus and the liner notes say that Oil was meant to be a cover album but only Bride survived the selection. Anyway, DeD's rendition of this Bride classic is as good as the original. And it features the singing of Mike Majalahti (of Hallowed) and J-Blast (Jacks Of All Trades). Production is good and the package is neat. With other words, the Finnish people have another export article to be proud of.
