5/5

Slaughter and the Dogs are an English punk rock band, formed in 1975 in Wythenshawe, Manchester, and were one of the first English punk bands to sign with a major label. Their original line-up consisted of singer Wayne Barrett, guitarist Mick Rossi, drummer Brian "Mad Muffet" Grantham and bassist Howard "Zip" Bates. Barrett and Rossi have led the band through various reformations with different lineups, including Mark Reback (drums) and Dam Graziano (bass), Noel Kay (drums) and JP Thollet (bass) amongst others.

Slaughter and the Dogs was founded in 1975 and the band name is a mix of Slaughter on 10th Avenue and Diamond Dogs, two of the band's favorite albums. They were one of the first punk rock bands in North West England. They supported the Sex Pistols at their gig at Manchester Lesser Free Trade Hall on 20 July 1976. This concert, more than any other single event, spawned Manchester's punk scene, which was concentrated around the Electric Circus Club.
