The Studdogs

The Studdogs was a rock band from Orlando, Florida. The band's music contains elements of punk, blues rock, garage rock, and noise rock. The band was formed in 2000 and stayed active until 2005. They released a lot of material, particularly the full-length album, The Gospel According to the Studdogs and the 7" vinyl 3-song EP, and gained local and national notoriety. They were featured in several national music magazines, including Magnet and Amplifier. Comparisons were made to the Stooges, Dead Boys, and it was said they sounded "like absolute victory by way of slurring, Rolling Stones-y garage rock from nowhere in particular."[1] Their drunken, abrasive live shows often ended with someone bleeding or being thrown out of the venue. Their live shows were said to be "what Howling Wolf would sound like through a wall of noise and distortion."[2] The band was signed by Orange Recordings in Los Angeles and toured all over the country, sharing bills with the Demolition Doll Rods, Bob Log III, The Fleshtones, and Immortal Lee County Killers and a one-time show with the Suicide Girls Burlesque Tour in Orlando. While in the Studdogs, Rich Evans began promoting concerts under the tag Mutiny Productions. He now heads the independent Florida's Dying label, promoting and releasing material from the Florida-underground music scene.[3] Kyle Justin joined the band on drums in early 2002 to replace Jason, who was moving to Texas. Kyle vacated his position as drummer in 2003 to pursue a music career in Los Angeles. Eric Gebhardt left the band in 2005 to pursue a solo career under the alias Red Mouth.

gollark: Probably not people who violate ALL rules, but ones who violate *some subset* of them in interesting ways.
gollark: If you go out of your way to do exactly the opposite of what "rules" say, they have as much control over you as they do on someone who does exactly what the rules *do* say.
gollark: I'm glad you're making sure to violate norms in socially approved ways which signify you as "out there" or something.
