BIG DOG - the firm 6.10.23

With tonights gig mere hours away which features the release of the BIG DOG 'in the yard' demo on 7”, it seemed like the right time to share a set of theirs.

Featuring all members of VIOLENT WAY, Buffalo's premiere Oi revival band, and as far as I can tell BIG DOG started just as an excuse to get Graham, the titular Big Dog, singing in a band. Having learned how quickly the songs were written it is absolutely baffling that they are as good as they are. BIG DOG first released their demo a little over a year ago and as a fan of both punk and novelty music I was instantly hooked. Filling their live set out with a grip of crowd-pleasing covers, BIG DOG are always an entertaining band, but the small grip of original songs are so damn good I just can't help but wish there were more so their set didn't always have to be rounded out, even by songs I like!

While I may not be the bands target audience and we may have differing opinions on things such as hair you can be sure I would gladly be 'kicking it downtown with the boys' any damn day!


This featured set was from a wild event last year which I believe was only the second ever VIOLENT WAY local appearance. A stacked bill including VIOLENT WAY, DUSTERS, DELUXXE, BIG DOG, and CONSERVATIVE MILITARY IMAGE (more sets from this show coming later) at occasional killer Buffalo venue The Firm.
