Dogs was a post-punk-influenced indie rock band from London. They toured with Paul Weller and Razorlight. Their first album, Turn Against This Land, released on 19 September 2005, was recorded at Sawmills Studio in Cornwall, produced by John Cornfield. It was released by Island Records and received critical acclaim from the UK press. It contained the singles 'London Bridge/End of an Era' (double A-side), 'Tuned to a Different Station' and 'Selfish Ways', each charting in the UK chart top 40. Dogs returned during 2007, under Weekender Records, with three singles: 'Soldier On', followed by 'This Stone Is a Bullet' and thirdly 'Dirty Little Shop', released on 18 June 2007. The song 'Chained to No-One' was released at the end of 2007 as a download-only single.
The band released their second album, Tall Stories from Under the Table on 25 June 2007. On 19 November 2008 it was announced that original drummer, Rich Mitchell had left the band amicably to join the band Chapel Club and a replacement found in Paul Warren.
