Bio:

The Dogs D'Amour are a rock and roll band formed in 1983 in London, England. Over the years the band has had various line-ups, the only constant being vocalist Tyla.Their 1989 release, A Graveyard of Empty Bottles, reached #16 on the UK chart while the single "Satellite Kid" reached #26.In 1991, the band broke up onstage, before reforming briefly in the early 1990s for the release of their sixth studio album More Unchartered Heights of Disgrace. After this, however, the most famous incarnation of the band ceased to exist. There was another brief reunion in 2000 and an album, but, throughout the 2000s, Tyla has been touring and releasing albums under the band name, which is vastly different from their older material.In December 2012 the 'classic' line-up of Tyla, Jo 'Dog' Almeida, Steve James and Bam agreed to reform to play a series of benefit concerts for their long-time friend, and former bandmate, Paul Hornby. In January 2013, the band recorded an E.P. in Florida and have announced live dates for the UK and Spain.The origins of the band can be traced to The Bordello Boys,[1] formed in late 1982 by Tyla. An American vocalist who was staying in England at the time, Ned Christie (real name Robert Stoddard), was brought into the project and he gave the band the name The Dogs D'Amour, and co-wrote many early songs with Tyla. Guitarist Nick Halls, bass guitarist Karl Watson and drummer Bam completed the line-up.The Dogs D'Amour played around fifty live shows during this era and recorded on two separate sessions. On the strength on the second, the band was signed to a record deal with Kumibeat Records from Finland. However, shortly before the band was scheduled to record their first album, Christie left the band in late 1983 because of musical differences with guitarist Tyla.Another reason for the split was that Christie had recently started another band with Bam called On The Wire and had his own recording commitments scheduled with that band, around the same time that the Dogs D'Amour were due to record their own first album.The entire line-up with the exception of Tyla and Watson left the band during this time.The music of the Dogs D'Amour can be described as a mixture of The Rolling Stones and Faces-style blues rock and Hanoi Rocks-style glam punk. Unlike popular bands of the time, who often had misogynistic themes, the Dogs D'Amour relied more on romantic themes and a poetic lyrical style. Tyla was also a huge fan of Charles Bukowski, and many of his lyrics, delivered with an impelling throaty rasp, were tinged with humorous irony and pathos, reflecting Bukowski's prosaic style.The Dogs' sound was firmly rooted in American blues music, and Jo Almeida's unique and distinctive slide guitar was reminiscent of blues masters like Lightnin' Hopkins and Charlie Patton. The Dogs began to show a strong country & western side on 1989's Errol Flynn (released as King Of The Thieves in the United States), a few years before alt-country came into vogue.Tyla is also an accomplished artist and his distinctive artwork graced the covers of all the Dogs D'Amour albums and singles. Tyla's artistic style has evolved with every release,progressing from pure comic strip caricatures to elegant semi-abstract depictions in pastel and watercolour.

Album:

"Straight" is the fifth studio album by English rock band The Dogs D'Amour. Album was released in 1990 and entered the UK Albums Chart at #32.Notably, this album is the last Dogs D'Amour recording to feature the 'classic' line-up of Tyla, Steve James, Jo Dog and Bam, as the band would break up onstage in 1991. The album spawned three singles; "Victims of Success", "Empty World" and "Back on the Juice", all of which reached the top 100 of the UK Singles Chart, the first of which was a Top 40 hit.The DOGS D'AMOUR relate to the Quireboys like Slade once did to Smokie. Even if this comparison is lame from a sales point of view, the Quireboys advanced to teenie-boppers with only one release, while the rather similarly structured DOGS D'AMOUR have to continue burping and snotting around in front of drunken guys. "Straight" is not the best DOGS D'AMOUR album yet, but it shows frontman, songwriter and facial corpse Tyla from his melancholic side. Imagine if Slade had made a Smokie record, then you know what "Straight" sounds like. Songs like 'Cardboard Town' or 'Evil' only win when you consume them in the pub after the seventh light or dark.This album contains 13 tracks of wacky studio rock that show that when it comes to gunpowder, they know how to light the fuse. Contrary to what some people say, this is not hard rock a la Guns or sleaze, but rock'n'roll as bands like the Faces or the Heartbreakers (not Tom Petty's, Johnny Thunders'!) conceived it in the last century. If many of the tracks are played at full speed, the record contains a few beautiful ballads, all located at the beginning of the album, such as "Kiss my heart goodbye", "You can't burn the devil" and "Empty world. It's on these that the bluesy side of the band expresses itself the best and it must be said that it's well helped in this matter by the beautiful female backing vocals, which can also be heard on other more muscular tracks such as "Evil" or "Heroine".
