This lot come from Seattle, have a biker-friendly metal boogie sound  and a tobacco spitting, redneck roistering attitude. And Dog Leg Preacher provide our latest Track Of The Day. Click here for previous Tracks Of The Day.

Half a dozen or so years ago, a band’s CD landed on my desk. Said band was from Seattle(ish), and they were called Dog Leg Preacher. Here’s the review I did of ‘em in 2001(ish) for A paper called New York Waste:

“Dog Leg Preacher already win whatever the fuckk game we’re playing here, on the basis of their name alone, so even a passing affair with full blown rockage would be enough for me, but dig- Halen ‘78 licks peal out of the speakers, followed by the sproing of one of those rattler tail things ZZ Top used to dig, and some kind of high pitched screech tears through the din: ‘Well, it’s Saturday night, and I’m feelin’ alright!’ 13 tracks of fingerless gloved flash metal biker boogie ensue.

“Seattle bred, but born to die in with their boots on in Sturgis, Dog Leg are the muddy saviours of all the outlaws, crazy girls, twitchy f**kers in mirrored shades, and fist fighting rock and roll animals abandoned in the wake of the grunge era. If your idea of a real cool time involves pig roasts and chicks in half-shirts chomping at mustard slathered hot dogs on a string – and it should be – then I got your house band right here, citizen.”

So, that was that. They released a manly follow-up a couple years later, but I hadn’t heard from them in a veritable month of Sundays. And then I got an out-of-the-blue email from DLP main-man Jon Fosdick, who was happy to report that the Preacher did, eventually, make it to Sturgis. In fact, they made a whole movie about the affair.  It’s called Hang Me, and it apparently is filled with many twists, turns, chills, and spills. I have not seen it yet, but my guess is that it’s bad-ass. There’s a semi-harrowing 30-second teaser-trailer available on their Myspace page, so check it out.

Dog Leg also just finished a brand spankin’ new record called Abscess, from which we offer up our Track Of The Day. There is even more mayhem and craziness going on in the Dog Leg camp – honestly, these guys live it like Skynyrd on $5 a day – so dig deep into their songs and stories for a seriously hair-raising rock ‘n’ roll journey.

In the meantime, there’s the bottle-smashing, gear-grinding, eyes n’ teeth rock n’ roll of Abcess to contend with. Here, courtesy of the band, is Ashes. Naturally, it smokes.
