Attack Dogs EP – The Goodbye Johnnys (Take The City)
Rock and Roll has no borders: Take The City is a Spanish label and The Goodbye Johnnys are a Swiss band. They play raucous Rock and Roll in the style of The Boys or a less messy version of The Heartbreakers, and have been around the block a a few times with a handful of singles and two albums to their credit.
They're also Zurich's supports-of-choice for touring acts like TV Smith and Ruts DC. This four-track seven-inch EP shows them strutting their stuff to good effect.
“Attack Dogs” is a catchy call to arms and “Losers Crime” is nearly as good. “Get Me” dirties up the rhythm guitar with some nagging, if thin, overdubbed lead. “Too Late” benefits from a sneering vocal and sharp guitar and is the best of the bunch. Good, honest punk rock with no pretensions.
