The crossover band from New Jersey, founded in the early 90s, convinced from the beginning with their combination of elements of hardcore punk, heavy metal and hip-hop. After releasing their first studio album „All Boro Kings“ in 1994, Dog Eat Dog toured Europe together with Biohazard. With „No Fronts“ the band also landed their first single hit. The following album „Play Games“ in 1996 featured such illustrious guests as Ronnie James Dio and RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. In 1999 the band celebrated their third successive success in the international charts with „Amped“. After „Walk With Me“ (2006) Dog Eat Dog started touring the world continuously. Now, after more than 10 years, the pioneers of crossover are back with new, highly anticipated material. The 4 tracks on „BRAND NEW BREED“ show the catchy qualities of the band again and convince with modern beats and sounds without forgetting the old trademarks. The songs were only available as EPs at concerts of the band in 2017/18 and are now available for the first time with additional material. As a bonus there are the hits „Rocky“ and „Isms“ as well as two EP tracks in live and unplugged versions. With a lot of positive energy the songs convince with groove, melody and catchy hooks. You can feel the freshness, which the band knows how to transmit live to the fans, no matter if hardcore, rock, reggae… Whatever Dog Eat Dog touches, it becomes a groovemonster!

L.A. SUMMER BASH OPEN AIR

DEEZ NUTS
European Summer Tour 2022
“You Got Me Fucked Up” is the album DEEZ NUTS needed to write. JJ Peters (vocals) explains: “It’s the breath of fresh air that we and our fans have been sorely missing. The thing that stands out the most about our songwriting, our performance and vibe on this whole album: We finally got our party sound back, but not in the sense of beat to death ‘party’ lyrics. These songs just scream fun.”
DEEZ NUTS deliberately picked different locations to write and record the album, despite sticking with Andrew Neufeld (Comeback Kid, Sights & Sounds) as co-producer. “This time we wrote in Toronto rather than New York City and recorded in Los Angeles rather than Boston like we did on the last two albums. The difference the surroundings brought to the album are very much felt throughout its ten bangers.”
“You Got Me Fucked Up” is just that: ten bangers. There are no 20 second humorous songs, but it is ten well-written and well-structured songs. “Some people subscribe to the ‘if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it’ philosophy. Mine has always been ‘if you don’t evolve, you die’. I couldn’t wait a second longer to put that into play with DN using this new album as the vehicle.” According to Peters “You Got Me Fucked Up” is the most important album in their discography since “Stay True” – and he cannot wait for you all to enjoy it!
The three singles the band chose all play a valuable role in introducing this album to their diehard fans and hopefully they will be welcoming some newcomers and possible fence-sitters, too. “Crooked Smile” is as catchy and infectious as it is pissed and menacing, a perfect lead in. “Singalong” is possibly the most DEEZ NUTS for those who fear change. “It’s our old familiar sound on steroids and laced with melody”, say Peters. “Bitterest End” lets you know that you can expect the unexpected throughout this album. “It is taking our sound and songwriting to brand new places, but in a very DN fashion.”
Short after the release of “You Got Me Fucked Up” DEEZ NUTS will embark on a European tour with Lionheart, Kublai Khan, Obey The Brave and Fallbrawl. A tour that Peters is very much looking forward to: “We’ll be on the road with the homies… in Europe this November, enjoying these songs in the live arena for the first time ever, please don’t miss these shows, they are gonna be one for the books, and the start of our next chapter.”
“You Got Me Fucked Up” is available as: Ltd. CD Digipak, LP+CD and Digital Album.
