Ass-Kickin' Hard Rock. The Limited Edition of "Hard", comes with an American Dog Patch and Sticker.

notes

American Dog has always had Bite, but "Hard" not only bites it rips the skin off your bones. The cd has twelve Ass-Kickers that show a band that has matured with each cd without mellowing, an almost impossible feat.

Michael Hannon's wry witty lyrics combined with Steve Theado's Guitar Wizardry and Keith Picken's drumming have cooked up the best American Dog cd yet, which is saying quite a lot.

This is the deluxe version of the cd, which ships with an American Dog Iron on patch and sticker.

    If Nashville Pussy were an all-male trio, this is what they would sound like. I can certainly see how Europe would go nuts for this band.

    American Dog are experts in good old fashioned party rock in the vein of Nugent and AC/DC. HARD is their best effort yet! Buy this CD!

    author: Charles

    I own every American Dog Cd and Hard ranks right up there with all the rest of them excellent Cd from start to finish. Can't wait to hear it Live but will have to wait unitl they return from their European Tour.

  • author: Midwest Master Of Metal

    American Dog is saving hard rock/metal one cd at a time. American Dog/Hard is everything good rock should be--loud, rude, and aggressive. These guys rule-SPREAD THE WORD!!!

  • American Dog Outdoes Themselves!!!!
    author: Jamie Phelps

    I own every Dog CD & they all rate a Rock Solid 5 Stars. There aren't enough stars to rank Hard!! From beginning to end, this one burns. Like Ted Nugent's self titled album cemented his Rock God status, Hard has cemented, hammered & welded American Dog's Rock God Status! Buy it, Dammit!!

  • Everyone Needs To Get "HARD"!
    author: BigDaddyViking

    Best Hard Rock Album of the Year! "Long Time Comin" and "Rock and Roll Dog" really stand out. Only thing better will be to hear it live. CAN'T WAIT!

  • Rock’n’roll !!!
    author: Seb a French rock'n'roll fan

    The Dogs are a concentrate of pure Rock’n’roll, something between MOTÖRHEAD and AC/DC, and they prove it with this new kickass album “HARD” … all is written in those four letters!!! I’m French and I’m very impatient to see ‘em in a very few days!!! Vive le Rock’N’Roll! Vive AMERICAN DOG!

  • How Good Are These Guys?
    author: CZ

    Jeezuz - can't wait for the next release. I have everything the Dog has ever done (excluding some of the European released stuff) and this is the best example of the Darwinian Theory of Evolution ever witnessed ... the Dog has graduated from simply brilliant to extraordinary to legendary to just the best band of this century (and the last). Buy this (cause this sort of music needs your support) put it in your player and turn the volume up as far as it will go (or your speakers will take) and that will be as close as you ever get to the best orgasm of your life (without actually having sex!)

  • The Dog Bites Again!
    author: Fizz

    American Dog has smacked another one out of the park with their latest, Hard. This is a leaner, meaner Dog than we've heard on previous releases, with not quite as much guitar flash, which allows the whole band to shine, rather than your attention being riveted on Steve Theado the entire time. Some of the band's absolute best songs hail from this CD, like "Sometimes You Eat the Pussy ...," "Rock 'n' Roll Dog," "Spell On Me," and the aptly named but very cool "Little Short." I don't know if Hard is better than Scars-N-Bars necessarily, because I really dig that album too, but it's a very worthy follow-up in every way, and I've really got no complaints.

  • DOG hits so HARD, your name's gonna drop outta the phonebook!
    author: Kenny Vaughn

    The newest release by American Dog, shows that they still bring the Bite on such tracks as BOCK,NO PITY, SOMETIMES YOU EAT THE PUSSY, and ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE. For me the favorite had to be the closing track MAGNIFICENT BASTARD, but the whole album is great! This is a band that grow with each album..THIS DOG WILL HUNT!!!!!!

    What would you call ZZ TOP with Balls? Answer: " AMERICAN DOG"..... Discover this band America and you'll be on the road to genuine Kick Ass Rock & Roll bliss.

  • Their best release to date...Get IT!!!!!!!!!!
    author: Nigel Harris

    As soon as Mr Hannon announced its relaese, CD Baby shipped a copy here to the UK at the speed of light, and boy was I not disappointed. The production is of the highest quality, and the songs, whilst are what you would expect from the Dogs,deliever. The best track "Magnificent Bastard" is left till last leaving you gasping for more. The've raised the bar, and it has definately left a mark!

  • Take notes kids...THIS is rock at its finest
    author: Swede from FatCat Radio

    I don't take the review process lightly - telling a band what you think they wanna hear ain't gonna help any potential buyers of the cd. That being said....CAN I GIVE HARD MORE THAN 5 STARS???? A+++, 5 star, 2 thumbs up. Whatever you wanna rate it - it gets the highest possible score from yours truly. The beer drinkers and hell raisers from Columbus OH had the inenviable task of trying to top their no bs, beer soaked, rock n roll classic back catalog and with 'Hard' they did just that. Nearly ten years into their journey, Michael "Master" Hannon, Steve Theado, and Keith Pickens (in his swan song) have released a disc that will stand the test of time. ITS THAT GOOD KIDS! The production quality is top notch - if you're an audiophile you'll be in for a treat. If you like in your face Lemmy-esque bass then you're gonna dig this. Hard hitting and intricate drum work? You'll find it here. And if you want to hear one of the greatest undiscovered guitarists around then this disc is for you. The title is an apt one - this is certainly the hardest and heaviest American Dog disc to date. But don't be fooled, the inclusion of acoustic guitar (thats right, I said it, acoustic!) and some subtle piano and keyboard work on a couple tracks shows the continued growth of the band. Tracks such as 'Sometimes You Eat The Pussy' and 'Rock N Roll Dog' show that while the band has matured, they proudly haven't grown up. 'Hypnotized' is a HUGE track that showcases Theado's guitar prowess as well as the production skills of their long-time associate Joe Viers (John Schwab Studios) . 'Beatin Broken Etc' is similiar in feel to AC/DC's 'Rock N Roll Aint Noise Pollution' and 'Magnificant Bastard' can simply be described as an instant classic. Throw in the fact that in this day and age of paying more to get less...the band has offered up a limited deluxe edition of the disc that comes with a sticker and an iron on patch all at no extra cost. The extras are a nice touch - but believe me, the music is more than enough. Long time die hard fan or 1st time listener I've only got one more thing to say....GO BUY THIS CD NOW!!
