"'Devil's Wife' reminds me more of U2 than any metal act out there, with its Edge-style guitars. It's pop rock at its twisted best, as is the Foo Fighters-ish 'Barely Breathing.'" Odds and ends collections are always strange to review. You really can't praise or bash them for their coherence or lack thereof. They reduce reviewing to its most basic concept: Are most of the songs good? In the case of Dog Fashion Disco's "Beating a dead horse, to death .....

"These guys act like and interact with their fans like they're early arrivals at a frat party." Dog Fashion Disco's farewell DVD, "DFDVD II," is best described as a cross between a Kevin Smith film and an episode of Jackass, with some not too shabby music thrown in. It includes a nearly two hour concert that was the band's final performance in Baltimore, and a section entitled "From Artemis To Adultery," which is part documentary, part concert...

Sound: A friend told me of this band a while ago, saying they were great and that I should check these guys out. I went out and bought the cd, not expecting anything great.

Reviewing the experimental Baltimore group's latest compilation Beating A Dead Horse To Death...Again, I drew comparisons immediately to Mr. Bungle in a good number of the tracks. Dog Fashion Disco, who formed in 1996 and disbanded in 2007, have called Mr...

All right, try not to laugh too hard when you listen to Anarchists of Good Taste. I'm pretty sure vocalist Todd Smith didn't mean to sound like Weird Al at times. But that only seems fitting, as everything on this record is 100% wannabe shock rock that it turns into self-parody within the opening track's first verse...

Few can rival underground metal experimentalists Dog Fashion Disco in a live setting, and the group's hometown concert album, The City Is Alive Tonight: Live in Baltimore, captures the outfit's uniqueness, beginning with the cartoonish circus-metal thump of "Worm in a Dog's Heart." Frontman Todd Smith gives Faith No More/Mr. Bungle guy Mike Patton a run for his money when DFD descends into "Rapist Eyes...
