The Hoboken based Jersey Dogs; undoubtedly one of New Jersey’s heaviest bands was formed in November of 1988 by then Attacker drummer Michael Sabatini and bass player Lou Ciarlo. At that time Attacker had gone through some troubled times but the determination to keep playing was something that Mike and Lou had to satisfy. The decision to have Lou take on the vocal duties came about from the band playing Motorhead covers at rehearsals as well as sound checks when their singer was unable to be there.

When Mike and Lou knew it was time to move on from Attacker it was Mike that suggested Lou sing. Shortly after the two pulled together some new material and entered the studio to begin recording their debut, “Don’t Worry, Get ANGRY”.

Joining Mike and Lou in the studio was permanent guitar player Jon Ilaw and Attacker guitar player Tom D’Amico. Tom had only been with the group for a short period time before he decided to pursue other opportunities. That’s when the band decided to add guitar player Mike Benetatos who would also play guitar for Attacker during their resurgence in 2003.

After the release of “Don’t Worry Get ANGRY” the band did a bunch of shows on the west coast in an attempt to build their fan base. Being quite successful the group landed a deal with then Grudge/BMG to release their second record “Thrash Ranch”.

Unfortunately dark times quickly fell upon the group due to disagreements with the record company. Shortly after the records release Grudge folded and the band was without a record label or its support.

As the members drifted apart they knew it was time to move on once again. Years would go by before one summer afternoon in 2009, Mike Sabatini came across some master tapes of the "Thrash Ranch" remix along with a new cover which had never been released due to the folding of Grudge.

With this Mike and Lou along with guitarists Mike Benetatos and Jon Ilaw have decided to re-release "Thrash Ranch" and "Don’t Worry, Get ANGRY" along with an unreleased bonus track as a double CD set targeting July 2010 as the release date.

So hold on to your seats for the Jersey Dogs ride again making music like Bon Jovi’s nightmare!
