Who let the dogs out?
2006 | Label: War Torn Records / TuneCore

You know how all those grindcore singers kind of sound like growling pit bulls? Well, Caninus just cut to the chase — their lead singer actually is a growling pit bull. Make that two pit bulls, named Budgie and Basil. Caninus 'MySpace page boldly claims they're "The World's First Ever [sic] Animal-Fronted Band." Try telling that to the Bermuda Tree Frogs, fellas. Now, I make no claims for the musical worth of this endeavor, but you gotta throw them a bone for the concept. "Bite the Hand that Feeds You" is as good an example as any, but probably the best track here isn't musical — it's the aptly titled "Studio Guy Gets Pissed," in which Budgie and Basil apparently try to bust a move, prompting some indignant protestations by the titular recordist: "WHOAH! HEY! WHOAH! C'mon, man, this isn't a fuckin 'park! Can you get the dogs back in the vocal booth please?"

I think I should actually buy this in CD form. I'd like to have the physical object just so as to prove that such a thing as this actually exists.
