Wreaking havoc with their forth Small Stone release, Sasquatch continue to lead the way with their fiery brand of rock n' roll. Drawing on influences from 70's metal, rock, and psychedelia, the band falls somewhere between an amalgamation of Black Sabbath, old Soundgarden, Deliverance-era Corrosion of Conformity, Mountain, and a bastardized version of Grand Funk Railroad. Their songwriting approach is clear; keep the focus on the hook. The band was formed in Los Angeles in 2001 by Philadelphia transplant Keith Gibbs (guitar, vox) and Detroit natives Rick Ferrante (drums) and Clayton Charles (bass). Upon Clayton’s departure in 2007, the guys recruited Chicagoan Jason Casanova (Behold! The Monolith, Tummler) to join the fold.   The band’s music has been featured on a variety of movies and television shows including the reissue of Clerks, FX’s original hit series Sons of Anarchy, A&E's Dog The Bounty Hunter, Jersey Girl, CW’s The Supernatural, and MTV’s Viva La Bam, Bam’s Unholy Union, and Rob and Big. They can also be heard on a number of video games including NHL 2005, American Chopper, and Monster Garage.   After shaking some walls with not one, but two, closely packed studio albums (conveniently named Sasquatch I and II) in 2004 and ’06, the power trio went subterranean until 2010 before resurfacing with a new lineup and propulsive third opus (entitled, you guessed it...III), to the relief of many impatient fans and the Small Stone Records Board of Directors.   The band’s latest album “IV” debuted in late 2013 followed by extensive touring in Europe and the US over the course of 2014. What fans hear is arguably the power trio’s most mature, inspired and diverse song-set to date, chunked with compositional twists, both heartwarmingly familiar and totally unexpected, plus thundering power chords, sizzling solos, shrewd melodic flights and even super-trippy moments – but all of it heavy on the heavy, as they say…always. Unprecedented attention was also devoted to spinning engaging new yarns out of those evergreen rock and roll stories about love lost, hate found, relationships built and lives trashed, homes wrecked, etc.    In fall of 2015, Cargo Records Germany will be releasing the complete Sasquatch back catalog on vinyl for the first time in Europe (I, II, and III). Look for the band to be gearing up for an early 2016 European tour and placing the finishing touches on their follow-up to “IV”. All’s fair in Love and Doom

One day you feel as a god, the next you’re just a goddamned dog … Life’s old story …
Why ? because we are humans, with a large range of emotions. This is sometimes killing us little by little and that’s how we learn to grow … Music is there to soften all this, like a healer.
People like labels, Goddog doesn’t. If you’ve got a soul, is there a need to put a name on what you feel. Just let yourself surrender to what is essential for you.
This is Goddog’s purpose, give you some kind of therapy when you’ve got the blues, exorcise the pain, talk about things we all have lived and, by knowing this, feel less alone and catch the energy to go on. You could expect this music to be sad, filled with tears and romantic stuffs … Beware of the Dog’s bite ! He’s got metal jaws, heavy ones ! He’s searching for his roots on an endless rocky road , licking his hurts under a dark shadowed moon and proudly trying to take away from the ground to reach better skies … and maybe, one day , kiss the sun again.
That’s what might talk to your own soul by listening to the Goddog’s complain. The rhythmic base is bare, without useless frills, anchoring solid heavy feet. The guitar solos make you escape from here below and the voice is not howling but digging its way to the edge where you have hidden your own wounds.
We all are … just … dogs !
