American Dog has always had Bite, but"Hard" not only bites it rips the skin off your bones. The cd has twelve A**-Kickers that show a band that has matured with each cd without mellowing, an almost impossible feat. Michael Hannon's wry witty lyrics combined with Steve Theado's Guitar Wizardry and Keith Picken's drumming have cooked up the best American Dog cd yet, which is saying quite a lot.This is the deluxe version of the cd, which ships with an American Dog Iron on patch and sticker.
