Most Things Dog Shredder

Cobbled together from pieces of lates and greats such as the Russians, Black Eyes and Neckties and, most notably, the instrumental juggernaut that was Cicadas, Dog Shredder is an amalgamation of disparate musical elements that taste great together. Imagine the aural experiments of Sonic Youth coupled with a Sabbath-style dB beat down. Imagine the ferocity of punk applied with the precision of prog. Imagine scalpel-sharp arrangements delivered cinder block heavy.

"An exhilarating new voice that's fun, ferocious, and ultimately exhausting in the most satisfying kind of way...proof that ambition and skill don't automatically cancel out heart."

--Pitchfork

"[The songs on the Boss Rhino EP] are brutal beauties, both epic in length and scope and bristling with whiplash-inducing time signatures, harrowing vocals, and a blur of technical finesse that in the studio must have been like trying to pin down a swarm of cracked-out fireflies."

--Seattle Weekly

"Dog Shredder aim to play the most blaring, technical, breakneck thrash you've ever heard. Though sheer musicianship is at the forefront, Dog Shredder are more than just a group of guys who excel at their instruments--they're striving to write monumental prog masterpieces, and their chops and their intentions work well together most harmoniously... Dog Shredder possess that rare combination of lofty ambitions and phenomenal skill that is downright unfuckwithable."

--The Seattle Stranger
