Eastside Dogs - Dogs from the Eastside

At the end of 2023, four musicians from East Germany, united by their passion for street punk and Oi!, came together to form Eastside Dogs. The result is their debut album, Dogs from the Eastside – a high-energy release that celebrates the spirit of the scene with 12 powerful tracks.

Recorded in just five weekend sessions at BOOT BOYS Productions in East Berlin, the album captures the raw, authentic sound that defines street punk. The tracks are well-arranged but retain the gritty charm essential to the genre. The mix of anthemic melodies and hard-hitting, streetwise rhythms ensures that every song sticks in your head.

From the opening track Fake Revolution to the rousing closer Running Riot (a Cock Sparrer cover), the album tackles themes drawn from the life and struggles of the subculture. Songs like Unity and Pride & Dignity stand out as anthems of solidarity and pride, while Streetrat and Struggle reflect the harsh realities of life. 

Dogs from the Eastside is an impressive debut that proves street punk and Oi! are alive and kicking in East Germany. Eastside Dogs deliver more than just music; they bring a message and a way of life. This album is a must-have for fans of the scene and a perfect introduction for newcomers.
