Old school pop punk alert!
Elvis Presley Hound Dogs (https://www.facebook.com/elvispresleyhounddogs/) are from Oberhausen, Germany, and sound like they've just been transported through some kind of time portal from the 90's. They're a band that would have fit right in on the likes of Mutant Pop, Lookout, Panic Button or Clearview Records. They write snappy sub 2 minute songs about the usual pop punk stuff; girls, zombies, Saturday nights, and California and unsurprisingly they list amongst their influences the likes of Ramones, Chixdiggit, TBR, Groovie Ghoulies, Queers etc...
Not only do they have an eye catching name, they also have a talent for writing catchy tunes that make them stand out in a crowded field. They definitely aren't reinventing the wheel, they aren't earning bonus points for originality but who cares. They're fast, loud and fun and deserving of your attention. They've just released their debut, Self Titled, album and you can get it on cd here : https://monsterzerorecords.com/products/elvis-presley-hound-dogs-s-t-cd?
Digitally it's here : https://elvispresleyhounddogs.bandcamp.com/album/elvis-presley-hound-dogs
I first heard this song a couple of years ago on one of the cool Ramone To The Bone comps but it's resurfaced on the album and it's a great introduction to the band, it's titled Rock'n'Roll Tonight...
