Good Dog want to take their rock music to the people. Their unique sound, infused with punk, funk, reggae and hardcore influences is catchy and exciting and their live show is as energetic and tight as any professional band.

The group consists of singer/songwriter/bassist Ben Cartwright, singer/guitarists Joe Yon and James Penny, and drummer Jack Tuckwell. Formed in 2003, the band started out playing school battle-of-the-bands and smaller gigs around their home towns. Perhaps their most notable victory was winning the nationwide schools BOTB at Cornbury Music Festival 2005. Since then, Good Dog have expanded their audiences by playing in pubs and festivals which has served as a good apprenticeship and honed their performance skills.

Good Dog have just completed the production of their 3rd album of original material, four tracks of which make up this demo. This is by far their most accomplished and varied album yet and has been recorded and mastered entirely by the band itself. The underlying theme of the album is freedom – from all sorts of things – relationships, school, prejudice and inhibitions, a theme summed up by the name, Blue Sky Dreams.

The completion of the album marks the start of what the band hope to be their future of gigging, recording and promoting themselves wherever they can.

The band want to do something amazing with their music and feel that now is the time to start taking themselves seriously, get down to work and try for fame and fortune.

2008 could be a big year for Good Dog.
