NOW (2021)

DESMOND CHILD (Grammy-winning hitmaker): "Hair Of The Dog sounded like a blue-collar hard rock band and they had the sweat & blood work ethic to match. The band never bowed to industry trends; they played the music they loved, period. Every note and every word was real, and that's why they resonate so strongly with their fan base to this day. In other words . . . Hair Of The Dog rocks!"

MICHAEL WAGENER (multi-platinum hard rock producer): "Hair Of The Dog drank more than any band I've worked with, and that's no small feat. They also played and sang their asses off. Total professionals. The mood was always rock 'n' roll and we had a blast!" 

NEIL ZLOZOWER (legendary rock photographer): "The first time I shot Hair Of The Dog I hadn't heard their music yet. They played their new demos at our session and I was blown away. Great songs. Great musicianship. I could really relate to the lyrics. I still have all three original HOTD albums, and I listen to them to this day. After working with thousands of bands over the last five decades, that's saying something . . ."

THEN (1996 - 2001)

ALBUM NETWORK: "This band recalls the glory days of the Sunset Strip."

METAL EDGE MAGAZINE: "Southern-fried Metallica meets Guns N' Roses." 

KERRANG! MAGAZINE: "If Metallica ever completes their transformation into Lynyrd Skynyrd, chances are they'll find Hair Of  The Dog already in the queue ahead of them."

BILLBOARD MAGAZINE: "Hair Of The Dog is aiming to rejuvenate mainstream rock radio interest in classic rock sounds a la KISS and Van Halen."

HIT PARADER MAGAZINE: "PICK HIT! Hair Of The Dog seem determined to rekindle the long-dormant spark of a decade when guitar solos ruled, tunes could be hummed and musicians actually looked like they were enjoying themselves."

JIM STONE, WZZQ (Terre Haute, IN): I haven't seen a crowd go crazy like that for a band here since Aerosmith. This band rocks. We're gonna play the hell out of it!"

JOHN FORD, KRRO (Sioux Falls, SD): "I have never had a band have the instant reaction that Hair Of The Dog did. In the first week it became the most-requested song on KRRO." 

NICK SUMMERS, WMZK (Wausau, WI): "The band's first album= #1 most-requested, #1 sales, WMZK Band Of The Year. Some simple facts to ponder as you add their new single 'Rise'. It's the #1 no-brainer."

HANS EVANS, KQDS (Duluth, MN): "One of the biggest surprises of this year, without the usual label hype. They tore my office apart." 

ROGER METHOD, SUPER SOUNDS (South Bend, IN): "People are pulling off the freeway when they hear Hair Of The Dog on the radio, and they're literally running into my store to buy this record." 

PAUL GARGANO, EXEC. EDITOR (Metal Edge Magazine): "Topping this year's list of memorable interviews were my one-on-one sessions with each member of KISS . . . Memorable for an entirely different reason was my lunch with Hair Of The Dog at LA's House of Blues. Unmemorable may be more the word to describe the afternoon, as the only bar tab that beat it was the night of AC/DC at Madison Square Garden."
