Emerging from the northern market town of Grantham in the early 1980s, English Dogs reached the punk spotlight opening for Charged GBH and Discharge. Their debut album Invasion of the Porky Men released in 1984 features the band's original line-up, with drummer Andrew Pinching, bassist Mark 'Wattie' Watson, guitarist John Murray and vocalist Pete 'Wakey' Wakefield, the hardcore focus very different from the metal direction they would take after Wakey moved on and Gizz Butt added his guitar pyrotechnics. This debut disc is a must for all UK hardcore fanatics, who like their punk delivered in raw, unadorned thrash mode.
