Kerbdog. Kerbdog. 1994. 4 stars.

This sick grunge/alt-metal band is from Ireland, so that probably explains why I have never heard of them (sorry Emerald Isle, but I only know of U2 and Primordial). Seriously, they sound like they were from the Seattle scene, though have more have a metal touch to their heavy slabs of riffs, perhaps resembling early Soundgarden. The vocals are expressive, loud and melodic. They almost have a Metallica or Kyuss type roughness to them, and they go brilliantly with the chugging guitars.

If you like early grunge records, i.e. the only good grunge records, get a hold of this underwritten album. It has great psuedo-thrash guitar work and cool vocals. Its very accessible and may even bring back fond memories of a long dead scene. Hits for the bong.
