Slaughter & The Dogs Is An English Punk Rock Band That Formed In The Late 1970s In Manchester England. They Were One Of The First UK Punk Bands To Sign For A Major Label Decca Records.
Career Formed In Wythenshawe Manchester Slaughter & The Dogs Were One Of The First Punk Rock Bands In North West England. They Supported The Sex Pistols At Their Now-Legendary Gig At Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall On 20 July 1976. This Concert More Than Any Other Single Event Spawned Manchester’s Punk Scene. That Scene Was Concentrated Around The Electric Circus Club And Gave Encouragement To Several Bands Including Alberto Y Lost Trios Paranoias Buzzcocks John Cooper Clarke The Distractions John Dowie The Drones The Durutti Column The Fall The Freshies Joy Division Magazine Ed Banger And The Nosebleeds The Passage As Well As Slaughter & The Dogs. As One Cultural Commentator Observed "London Had The Roxy Manchester Had The Electric Circus". The Band Befriended Rob Gretton Later To Manage Joy Division And With His Financial Help Became The First Band To Release A Single On Manchester’s Independent Record Label Rabid Records. In 2001 This Debut Single "Cranked Up Really High" Originally Released In June 1977 Was Included In Mojo Magazine’s List Of The Top 100 Punk Rock Singles Of All Time. It Also Appeared On Streets Which The TrakMARX Website Describes As An "essential" Compilation Album Of Early UK Punk Bands From A Variety Of Independent Record Labels. In 2006 "Cranked Up Really High" Re-Appeared On The Paul Morley Compiled Three-Disc Box Set North By North West Liverpool & Manchester From Punk To Post-Punk And Beyond Korova An Overview Of The Punk New Wave And Post-Punk Scene In Those Two Cities. The Band Were Frequent Visitors To London And Became One Of The Pioneering Punk Bands That Played Live In The First Few Months Of The Roxy. They Played Their First Concert In January Of The Same Year Supported By The Adverts. They Headlined Twice In February And Once In March Of Some Year Supported By Johnny Moped. In April Of Some Year They Were Supported By The Lurkers. 8 Their Live Renditions Of "Runaway" And "Boston Babies" Were Included On The Harvest Records Compilation Album Live At The Roxy WC2. After Signing To Decca Records The Band Released The "Where Have All The Boot Boys Gone?" In 1978. The Same Year Singer Wayne Barrett Left The Band And They Began Rehearsing With New Vocalist Steve Morrissey. Morrissey Recorded Four Songs With Them But Did Not Become A Permanent Part Of The Band. 9 For A Time The Band Also Included Billy Duffy Who Achieved Fame With The Cult. Slaughter & The Dog’s First Single On DJM Records Was A Cover Version Of "You're Ready Now" Which Took It Origins From Frankie Valli's Solo Chart Single Of 1966. The Band Shortened Their Name To Slaughter In The Early 1980s And Drastically Changed Both Their Look And Sound. They Are Not To Be Confused With Other Bands With The Same Name. The Band Reformed To Headline 'Holidays In The Sun' In 1996 And The New Line Up Featuring The French Rhythm Section Of J.P. Thollet Bass And Noel Kay Drums Continues To Record Tour And Headline Festivals. Reviews * “A More Consistent Songwriting Approach Might Have Lengthened The Dogs' Run Though Their Lack Of Airs Ensured A Winning Team For A Time. Any Band Cited By The Disparate Likes Of New Order The Stone Roses And Smiths Frontman Morrissey Surely Deserves Another Look”. * “More Often Mentioned For The Big Name Connections Rather Than Their Actual Music Slaughter & The Dogs Nevertheless Remain One Of The Key Players In The Early Punk Scene”. * “They Did Have A Fairly Glittery Sounding Approach To Their Brand Of Punk Rock… They Never Achieved Much Popularity Which Is Probably Mainly Because They Didn't Sing With Pronounced English Accents As Was The Hip Style Then. But This Has Tons Of Energy And Three Really Great Tunes”. * “Opinion On Slaughter Is Divided Glam Chancers Or Punk? Who Cares! What Can't Be Denied Is Their Songs Are Full Of Style Speed And Tunes Which Coincided With Punk And The Pistols. They Deserved More But That's Music For You... Check 'em Out On Don Letts 'Punk Movie' Doing Cranked Up Really High”. * “Cranked Up Really High Where Have All The Bootboys Gone And You’re Ready Now… Are Their Enduring Punk Classics”. * “Slaughter Played With A Rare Conviction And Power Soul-Stirring Napalm Guitars That Laid The Groundwork For An Entire Generation Of Future Punk Minimalists”.
