What would a self-respecting blog dedicated to the underexposed and under-appreciated like this one be without a post on one of the best power-trios of the '90s, Man Dingo? Guess that's not much of an issue anymore given said post is now before your eyes. Denizen's of Phoenix, AZ, Man Dingo's brand of pop-punk, with a highly pervasive influence from the very like-minded Big Drill Car (and to a lesser extent, early Green Day), never garnered the national audience they deserved. For shame, 'cos their succulent hooks, brisk tempos, and genuine passion for the quality of their craft was head and shoulders above the vast majority of their peers. I can't recommend these guys enough!
Man Dingo spent most of their tenure on the Cali-based Dr. Strange label, on which they released these two recordings, plus a subsequent LP, Macho Grande, another single, and I think a split ep with another outfit who's name escapes me at the moment. MD alumni would later go onto Stereotyperider.
For some reason, the band's ifive cd was mastered at an insultingly low volume, but through the miracle of Sound Forge I boosted it to a reasonable level.
