"Who let the GarageDogs out?...The Somerville punk band...is featured in a 12 page spread in the new Detour magazine. The 'dogs...posed twice for uber-hot NYC fashion photographer Jack Pierson modeling oh-so-groovy Gucci...The boys also appear in a new catalogue for French designer Jose Levy au Paris...Woof."
"If there's a band in Boston playing a better, More broken-down, nastier, ballsier brand of frustrated, tightwire sex and drugs garage-rock than the dogs, they'd be well advised to speak now or forever shut their trap."
"...The garageDogs, who are originally from Alabama, are pretty unique. Borrowing heavily from Lou Reed/ Velvet Underground, they combine noisy guitar with lyrics that contain a lot of sexual reference. Since they have three brothers who look a lot alike, they are absorbing to look at and a bit unpredictable..."
"...The closest I've come to watching a Felini film or tripping on acid recently was at the Institute of Contemporary Art's spring benefit.. A giant cube hung with gauze was built inside the cyclorama, and a punk band in underwear fronted by a Dr. Jekyll-ish drag queen {Ryan Landry}, who screamed "Light My Fire" while a pair of go go boys in blue body paint and angels' wings twirled ribbons on sticks,"
"...The Band's eclectic mix of of rock, punk, and country music has been on the bill of high-profile venues like New York City's CBGB's, and they've also worked with local rock legend Rick Berlin to develop a series of concerts featuring Boston area musicians...
"...Their songs are so good...and their enthusiasm is infectious. They make rock'n'roll because it matters to them, not because they want to be on the cover of Spin magazine. They're great people...To me, the garageDogs make rock'n'roll make sense..."
"...The most interesting cameo was by none other than the Hough brothers' visiting father, who sang lead on a souped-up version of "Easy Street" from "Annie", which - considering the mixed crowd - was more appropriate than anyone could have imagined"
