THE DIESEL DOGS: "Antihumanism" (12", Ghost Highway Recordings, 2012)
THE DIESEL DOGS are back to present their new work, an extremist and "all-rockism" 12inch called: "Antihumanism". This is a very ambitious 6 track 12" E.P. in a limited edition on vinyl through the label Ghost Highway Recordings. With THE DIESEL DOGS return nuclear winter, electric class struggle, raw manifests in the name of Pete Townshend and David Foster Wallace, and the naivete of rock n 'roll seen as a counter-culture bomb. This album was produced by Fernando Pardo (Corizonas, Sex Museum, Los Coronas) and mastered by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails, Alice Cooper, Monster Magnet, Beastie Boys).
"Antihumanism" changes the game for the Dogs, bringing its proposal to the fragile limit where the most ambitious rock, and the smarter workin' class idealism cross their paths. Their songs are inspired by love, cruelty, fear, political deception, rock'n'roll daydream and many other concepts, adding their special talent playing real rock'n'roll... They are inspired in the best qualities of Social Distortion, The Replacements or The Who to name some bands but definitely they sound like they want, hard, raw and intense.

Ghost Highway Recordings is a small DIY independent record label based in Madrid, Spain. The label was founded in 2008 with
the purpose of releasing rock’n’roll, punk, punk-rock, lo-fi punk, surf and garage rock in 7" vinyl slices... and in 2011 we grow up to 10" and 12", too.
