A proper album with proper songs of the sort you don't get very often. The trio have really outdone themselves this time with an album that rocks, soothes and inspires. Great sounding guitars and a lush yet punchy production that really allows the songs to bury themselves in your head and nest there for some time. A wonderful package and some great artwork to boot. Keep it up guys.

tvfordogs' music is a blend of alternative, grunge, melodic, new wave and rock. tvfordogs carries on the tradition of British power trios with a modern creativity and flair. Their arrangements are tight with crunch guitars and power packed vocals. The first half of Roller is hard driving and the second part still rocks but with a bit more subtlety. 'The Universe is Blue' speeds along at a punk like pace infused with heavy rhythms and energized vocals. 'Roller', which was produced by Jack Endino who worked with Nirvana, is colorful blending various tempos and textures with layered vocal parts. 'Be Careful' takes a number of turns on the pop/rock road circling its way around to the catchy hook. tvfordogs' second release is impressive with eleven tracks that are diverse and dynamic!

I bought the first album "Heavy Denver" about 4 years ago, and within a few months it had become one of the most indispensable CDs in my 300 strong collection, along with Jeff Buckley's "Grace", Radiohead's "ok computer", My Vitriol's "Finelines" and REM's "Automatic for the people".

Although the new album picks up from where the last one ended, it sounds different. The first half of "Roller" is a blast of energy which speed past at a 100mph. The Eponymous track and "Universe is blue" are songs you are still huming along to, long after the CD has stopped spinning and the neighbours have quit banging on the walls, threatening to call the police because of the Decibals.

The second half of the CD sees "the dogs" lay back with their bowl of water for a succesion of mellower more radio-freindly (Drive) guitar pop songs (with the exception of "Where is your God" which is a good old fashion grunge Rock song to remind you that dogs dont sleep for long periods). 

The last track "Time to go" isa fitting end to the CD, and sounds completely different to anything that theyve recorded before, and the piano makes a welcome return after a long absence.

Roller is very well produced by mR. lUCKETT, and is laden with infectious singalong rock anthems, that many of todays established bands would be proud to have on their Comeback Album.

Almost every review ive read of TV for Dogs compares them to other bands who have most probably influenced their now trademark sound, which is way too easy and a sign of a bad reviewer. but while most dogs sound the same from a distance, its not until you get up close to it that you realise, it looks different, runs at a different speed, and has got something different to say than all the other dogs. Well I have no scientific evidence of that, but basically its a metaphor, that Tv for dogs have something different to say, and stories to tell to the world than alot of the other bands around at the moment.  Go buy it & then see them live and you'll know what i mean.
Woof!
