Dog Fashion Disco was a band from Baltimore, notable for combining many different music styles (70’s psychedelic, jazz, piano recital, circus music and vocals, film-noir, hardcore, ska, among others) they were, however, primarily considered a metal band. They are often referred to as DFD and were originally called Hug the Retard, but changed their name to Dog Fashion Disco before releasing any material, as they felt the name Hug The Retard was too politically incorrect and might cost them fans. Also of note is the fact that they recorded a track with System of a Down frontman, Serj Tankian, called “Mushroom Cult” on the album Anarchists of Good Taste, and often wrongly attributed to System of a Down, even though Serj Tankian was the only member to perform on the track.

Adultery was released in 2006 through Rotten Records, as their 6th studio album (5th, if you don’t include the extremely limited release of Erotic Massage and their live album, The City is Alive Tonight). Baltimore’s Dog Fashion Disco call it “Movie Metal” and have not only outdone themselves, but have created a concept record to fold, spindle, and mutilate all of the aural senses. Adultery delves into the life of an ordinary suburban family man and walks you through his folding to his own dark demons. Lock Quentin Tarantino, Charles Bukowski and Humphrey Bogart in a room with guitars, drums and a few bottles of Absinthe and what you would find closely resembles the genius of Adultery.

@thegodparticle: I agree with you, but if you're referring to "who cares about how many listens what albums gets? and yes adultery IS their strongest effort, i think its quite obvious" then I'd have to say Avantish is right on that. Especially how there were a couple songs that were already released that were put on Anarchists and Committed before they released.

The significance of Adultery lies in it's cohesiveness.

to try and say under any context of forum that one said performer is a "copy cat" to another is just beligerance of a stinky brain fart....how does one create sound directly related to a form of its genre not sound like any of their contemporaries. is just out right stupid. to say its rip off of Patton is to claim Patton souly created and owned a genre of artistic expression....

Well, it's quite obvious that I care now isn't it? I love Adultery, don't get me wrong. It just doesn't have the replay value that some of the other albums have, for me anyway. I get annoyed with those people that listen to Adultery first and immediately write off their other stuff as sub-par when it's far from such. It's way different from the other releases, but I can't see how it is better. It boils down to the fact that most everyone wants others to see music the way they do (whether they admit it or not), but it'll never be that way.

What's with the lack of Committed to a Bright Future listens, or any of their older material for that matter. Adultery isn't their only release, and it's certainly not their best.
