Sacramento, California two-piece rock act Dog Party have signed to Asian Man Records for the release of their upcoming album “Lost Control.” Click here to stream a new song from the release called “I Can’t Wait.” Here’s what label owner Mike Park had to say:
“A couple years ago Kepi Ghoulie introduced me to this band called DOG PARTY. Two sisters named Gwendolyn and Lucy from good ol’ Sacramento, California. At the time, they were 14 and 12 years of age. And mind blowing good regardless of age. I knew I had to release a record for them and I’m excited that we will be releasing the next full length called “LOST CONTROL”.”
We’ll keep you posted as more details on the release of “Lost Control” surface. The band last released “P.A.R.T.Y All Night” back in 2011.

Cover songs are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. We here at Dying Scene love hearing punk bands do their own take on other band’s songs. Sometimes they pull off amazing interpretations of old classics, sometimes they’re not much more than humble tributes to a fellow artist, and other times they’re just downright laughable renditions of otherwise great songs. Good or bad. Intriguing or mundane. We’ll let you be the judge.
