Attack Dog, a punk-prone indie-rock band that hails from Philadelphia, recently swung through Boise in support of their recently released album, Can I Be Your Attack Dog? (If that title calls to mind the Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” you’re not alone.) Recorded over the course of two years, the LP nonetheless boasts an immediacy that makes it extremely challenging to press pause once you’ve hit the play button.
Attack Dog features guitarist John Duesler, bassist/vocalist Paul Mangan, guitarist/vocalist/keyboarist/percussionist Dylan Michael and drummer Brandon Washburn. When the band swung through Boise, yours truly had the good fortune to hang with them for a while and can therefore attest that they are four stand-up gentlemen despite their band name.
As evidence of that claim, the band generously participated in our ongoing Pet Sounds series, which is nearing its 100th installment. (If you’re a great band and love to talk about your pet(s), don’t hesitate to reach out.) Surprise, surprise, Attack Dog have two dogs – and a cat to boot. Before we get started with our conversation with the band about their pets, let’s meet Attack Dog’s pets first:
