headcount: lullabies for dogs

Lullabies for Dogs continues with the trademark hook-laden, heavy melodic sound that has become the band's calling card. The Headcount of 2013 features none other than the talents of Marco Pirroni of Adam And The Ants fame lending his distinctive style to the existing sonic platter resulting in 11 tracks of uncompromising, uptempo, joyous power. Formed in 1999 by Rob Moss (guitars & vocals), Stef Hale (drums) and Rob Jeffrey (bass), Headcount have been referred to as "hell bound pig-fucking devil dogs" and sounding like "Adam And The Ants being sodomized by Therapy?". That should give you an idea. Lullabies for Dogs builds on the success of the KKKK-rated 2002 debut (which also featured Marco) It's a Business Doing Pleasure With You, 2004's Paul Raven (Killing Joke, RIP)-produced Die Monkey Die and 2008's To the Point. Fourteen years on from forming, it's unmistakably Headcount -- big, pounding drums, driving, killer bass, and full, guitar-laden choruses.
