Dogface is one of my personal favorite bands out there. Their debut opus, "Dogface Unleashed", back in 2000 was a classic record all the way. An album that gained a great feedback from both music press and fans and, for sure, an album that put Dogface in the hard rock premium league for good. Mats Leven amazing vocals along with Martin Kronlund's breathtaking guitar lines and with a tight as hell rhythm section, Dogface put a wide smile upon the face of every serious hard rock fan.
A few years later, a second album saw the light of day with the title "In Control". Not quite as classic as the debut but, for damn sure, a solid one that included some killer tunes in it. After this one the band took a long break to return in 2013 with a new opus entitled "Back On The Streets" through AOR Heaven records. The line-up was changed but Martin Kronlund and Mats Levén remained the only original members on board.
”Dogface Releashed” was released in 2018 by Melodic Rock Records. This was a remastered and remixed version of the ”Dogface Unleashed” opus. The band after that decided that this release was going to be the last Dogface album. They said: “We are very proud of what we have accomplished and want to thank our fans and believers for all the great years."
Nowadays, with ”From the end to the beginning” the band strikes back with a compilation that includes material from the three albums with the songs that represents the Dogface sound the best.
For the fans of Dogface, this album is a must have 'cause it includes all the band's best tunes to-date. Songs such as "Don't", "A Single Reason", the amazingly bluesier "I Will Be There", the groovier "Right Between Your Lies", "You're Taken Me Down" or the Thin Lizzy-esque "I Don't Care" and "Spit It Out" are all classics in my book and they are songs that can't be missed by any fan of the classic hard rock sound.
All in all, "From The End To The Beginning" is an album that encloses the history, even if is a short one, of a band that has released some quality and timeless music. Ladies and gentlemen this is DOGFACE at their best!!!!
